Take a Little Extra While to Rest​

I don’t know about you, but I find August to be a trying month. Temperatures are sizzling. Energy is waning. It’s a good time to take a little extra while to rest, re-create, and read. One of my favorite things to do has been to sit on the promenade outside Sophia in the early morning with a cup of coffee and check my flower garden (the roses will be in magnificent bloom now that the beetles have left and the zinnias are bright and striking.) It’s the perfect place to just sit and think over what’s coming in the day and pray over it a bit. It’s been a while since I’ve done this, so this is my August resolution. I will try to do this again. I hope you, too, find something to invite into your everyday routine, that brings joy and gives you an added moment of rest.

Know that all of us at Sophia are preparing for a busy few months where we will welcome a number of new groups, receive a new class of Souljourners as well as greet those who are returning. We also have a full calendar with many new fall programs. There are numerous occasions to come to Sophia for an on-site retreat as well as opportunities to join us on zoom. We look forward to welcoming you. Be assured of our prayers for you and those you love.
