Journeying the Way of Love Advent Calendar for December 18 Rest: Spend at least 45 minutes outside today. Take some time to just sit or walk gently and let the air wash over you, taking away the stress and worry of the moment. Read Psalm 100 before and after your outside time. See how this psalm may help you rest and recharge your spirit. Psalm 100 1 Be joyful in the LORD, all you lands; * serve the LORD with gladness and come before his presence with a song. 2 Know this: The LORD himself is God; * he himself has made us, and we are his; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture. 3 Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise; * give thanks to him and call upon his Name. 4 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; * and his faithfulness endures from age to age.
