Question: HOW DO YOU PICTURE A DAY SPENT “BEING” –AS OPPOSED TO “DOING”? 

Transcript of Video:

A few weeks ago there was a feature in the Boston Globe called Reflection for Today and it was in Spanish. It’s an old Spanish proverb, and I think it goes something like this: “Qué hermoso es no hacer nada y descansar después,” which I think means, “How beautiful it is to do nothing and afterwards rest.” I think it’s a wonderful way to think of the Christian life, because after all, as creatures made in the image and likeness of God, we are to be human beings not human doings.
