One of the suggestions in the Lent study Book "
The Life You've Always Wanted" in the chapter The Unhurried Life was to set aside a day to listen to God. Our home group set off on Friday in glorious sunshine for
Pluscarden Abbey just outside Elgin. There was a real sense of expectation as we walked through the grounds and entered the building. The beautiful stained glass windows, the short service of psalms sung by the monks, the sense of peace, picnic lunch on the grass surrounded by birdsong, the opportunity for quiet reflection and prayer and the opportunity to share in fellowship and grow together as we
journey together made this a special day.
John Ortberg suggests a day set aside in this way is "your gift to God, but even more, it is a gift God wants to give you." Withdrawing from activity in order to seek direction or renewed energy, to listen to God and to have a sense of healing is highly recommended.
