After spending the day working in the garden on a cool Saturday morning and feeling a little tired and sore, I felt a great sense of joyous accomplishment, as I surveyed my labor.
As I was finishing up the last area of my garden to-do list, the saying "rest in labor" came to my mind. As I put my garden tools away and cleaned up from the day, I kept hearing "rest in labor" go through my mind.
With everything put away, I took a quiet walk through the garden, a gentle cool afternoon breeze at my back. I sat for a moment. "This is what 'rest in labor' means," I thought. As I was taking in the moment, I began to feel a peace and a restful refill of my soul.
What a wonderful way to end a glorious day in the garden by "resting in one's labor. " Enjoy the gifted moment of the present.
