Daily rest

I read from China Source March article by Mark Swallow the following quote of Sabbath Rest from Emily Dickinson

A Sabbath Poem

Some keep the Sabbath going to Church --
I keep it, staying at Home --
With a Bobolink for a Chorister --
And an Orchard, for a Dome --

Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice --
I just wear my Wings --
And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church,
Our little Sexton -- sings.

God preaches, a noted Clergyman --
And the sermon is never long,
So instead of getting to Heaven, at last --
I'm going, all along.

The author advices us
Firstly draw a time line for initial check-up of our life & time use,then
Combating a kind of Rest is Guilty Type Philosophy,finally
Think about how Jesus did in His life.

May we have restful spirit in our daily life today.
