I love Ecclesiastes. I can't even imagine how hectic your life is with 10 children. I'm exhausted as a single mother of two. Taking time to rest is one of the important aspects of faith--that we don't have to strive or put on a performance. For me, that means curling up in my pajamas and watching Downtown Abbey.

I love Downtown Abbey! Pajamas, hot cocoa or tea, and a good historical fiction show is a great way to rest. I have 2 children, and 3 grandchildren. But I also have almost 90 students I teach daily.

Same--I'm a teacher as well.

Yea! I haven’t found many teachers here yet on Substack, so I’m excited to meet you. What do you teach?

Taking a day off sometimes takes courage.

You have to set something aside to do that.

And sometimes it's guilt that keeps us from taking the time for yourself.

You go girl! You took the needed step and didn't just do it, you shared and encouraged others to do it.
