Rest-rewind-rejoice.



God provided rest for Adam,
To live without any,
Work on the seventh day,
Rest rewinds us,
Rest rejuvenates us,
Rest re-equips us,
To go about our,
Tasks with greater zest,
And renewed strength;
Restored energy to give,
Better account of ourselves,
Recuperate, recharge, rejoice,
To make the world,
Better for you and others.
