The rhythm of rushing and resting

Mark 6.30-34,53-56

The disciples meet with Jesus and share with him all they have done and seen since he sent them out in mission. Jesus responds by offering time for quiet and rest. However, the crowd continue to seek Jesus for teaching and healing.

Achieving a healthy balance between having compassion and concern for others and maintaining appropriate self-care is a lifelong struggle for many people. Learning the importance of this balance and receiving encouragement in working at it is vitally important.

This week we explore the importance of balance in how we use our time.
