All of us, working professionals, are always looking forward for some vacation time, at least, once in a year. Some would like to have it spent with their families; some with their friends, and some would opt to be alone. But, no matter where you are or who you are with, don’t forget that the goal of every vacation is to REST.
REST, as I define it, is a moment or period of physical and mental peace in which a person can regain his or her holistic stamina. Even in the sacred scripture, God encourages His disciples to stop and have some moment of rest. For what purpose? To regain their zealousness after the exhausting demands of evangelization. But, aside from the “regains,”our period of rest should also be an opportunity for us to give, that is, giving ourselves to GOD, the Source of all-good. In other words, rest, to be worthwhile, must reconnect us to GOD.
While on vacation, make sure to leave all the “baggages” behind that can possibly create the noise which can hinder our connection to the Divine. Let us focus on the positive such as the beautiful sceneries around. A silent place, coupled with a silent heart, can amplify more the Voice of God. And, when we hear His voice, we must listen and decide to heed; because only by our total surrender to His HOLY WILL can we experience “rest for our weary souls.”
