Not that I'm complaining, wilted plants are starting to look a little greener. With the arrival of summer come the thoughts of vacation. Time to relax, rest and perhaps catch up with family and friends. For many, life rushes past at an alarming rate. So much to fit into so little time and I'm not just talking of those who work; many of my retired friends seem to be even busier in retirement! We can so easily find ourselves with lives that are completely out of balance, replacing the joy God gives to us with tension and stress. What should a balanced life look like? What are the key ingredients that our God created minds and bodies crave? In the opening chapters of the Bible, in the story of creation, perhaps we find some clues. There is a balance that God strikes between creative work, contributing to the needs of others (six days straight) and complete rest (one day). With Adam and Eve, their initial life also involved time spent with God and the rest of the Bible gives ample example of the need for all of us to find regular time to pray and worship. When the Sunday Trading Act was passed in 1994, allowing more shops and businesses to open, our society changed. Suddenly a day which had been largely a national day of rest started to fill with work or chores. Many would say that the convenience of being able to shop on a Sunday has made life easier. Of course, the Internet now means we can shop all day and all night, if we so desire. This freedom can be very helpful but it can also add to the pressure of life. Unless we are ill, there is no time when we are forced to rest. Learning to strike the right balance between all these elements is a lifelong exercise, moving and shifting as our circumstances change. Whatever the circumstances of your life, I pray that you will find more of God's peace and joy this summer.
