CPR for the Spirit
What we know:
* The short, dark, cold days of winter can weigh heavily on our spirits.
* It can feel like a dull ache we stop paying attention to.
* No one ~ least of all ourselves ~ is going to invite us to step outside out daily lives for a bit of respite.
What we wish we knew:
* We can run on empty for only so long
* "Toughing it out" is an unnecessary position that we adopt and then feel compelled to see through.
* Taking time just to be quiet ~ and prayerful ~ is not selfish.
And now you DO know:
* We have quiet space, a hot meal, a warm bed with your name on it
* We have a quiet, peace-filled chapel for an hour's "time out".
* We have places to sit and read (or snooze), and beautiful grounds to roam.
Consider this our invitation to come for a morning or
afternoon...a day...an hour...an overnight.
You probably won't do this without a nudge, and the folks who are urging you to "keep on keeping on" certainly don't have a stake this.
So, what do you say???
