"Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time
to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow.
You cannot serve from an empty vessel."

Today's Scripture
Ephesians 2:11-22
So then, remember that at one time you Gentiles by
birth, called “the uncircumcision” by those who are
called “the circumcision” —a physical circumcision
made in the flesh by human hands— remember
that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens
from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to
the covenants of promise, having no hope and
without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus
you who once were far off have been brought near
by the blood of Christ.
For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both
groups into one and has broken down the dividing
wall, that is, the hostility between us. He has abolished
the law with its commandments and ordinances, that
he might create in himself one new humanity in place
of the two, thus making peace, and might reconcile
both groups to God in one body through the cross,
thus putting to death that hostility through it. So, he
came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off
and peace to those who were near; for through him
both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father.
So, then you are no longer strangers and aliens,
but you are citizens with the saints and also members
of the household of God, built upon the foundation
of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus
himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole structure
is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the
Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into
a dwelling place for God.
Mark 6:30-34
The apostles gathered around Jesus and told him all
that they had done and taught. He said to them,
'Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves
and rest a while.' For many were coming and going,
and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went
away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.
Now many saw them going and recognized them,
and they hurried there on foot from all the towns and
arrived ahead of them. As he went ashore, he saw
a great crowd; and he had compassion for them,
because they were like sheep without a shepherd;
and he began to teach them many things.
