Joshua 22:4: "And now the LORD your God has given rest to your kindred." God has given rest. Some of us might think of this as Keeping Sabbath. Keeping Sabbath isn't only about us---our rest, our replenishment. It is about that, but it is mostly about God. When we take a day to rest from our work and focus on God---we are recognizing that nothing I could do this day is more important than what God has already done.
John 6: The feeding of the thousands; in John, this is the Eucharistic meal. How can we know the abundance that is shown in this Gospel story? We must be willing to give what we have. To allow our "loaves of bread" to be taken, blessed, broken, and shared. Are we willing for our "bread" to be broken in order for it to be shared?
