Take the Sabbath rest. Seriously. Take Sunday and make it a day for nothing but unscheduled, spontaneous right relationship with God, family and friends.
Pre-brain bludgeoning, when I was working full time, in graduate school and in diaconal formation, and married with our first on the way, I was utterly frazzled. Something had to shift. For me, Sabbath was Saturday (too much to do on Sunday), so no errands, no homework, no reading of theology nothing scheduled ahead of time. It was like Christmas morning every Saturday to wake up and have an entire day completely unscheduled to spend with God, family, and friends how things spontaneously happened. It rejuvenated me, help put everything in perspective, and restore right relationship everywhere else. Turns out that when you give God the seventh day for rest, you get more don on the other six than you do with all seven! Amazing.
