In St. Marcellin's room, there's a kneeler near his bed. It looks pretty ordinary, with a storage space inside. What I learned during a tour of the house is that Marcellin has a chess board drawn inside it! The door comes off and can be placed on a table. Pretty neat!
During work, school, service, and ministry... we need breaks. Sometimes we run marathons of our schedule day in and day out without rest. Think of yourself for a moment: "Am I processing any of this?" Without the moments in our day to stop and reflect, we can lose sight of the importance of our call, our work, and our lives.
The chessboard in the kneeler is a perfect example of time for oneself. What is your time for yourself?
What do you know about your work? About your ministry? About yourself? With all these considered, what does that mean in relation to others? Taking time to simply BE can help different people in different ways. Whether that time is of prayer, quiet, walking, running, singing, writing, or any other action... let that time BE.
