Powerful post. I am taking a career break due to health reasons. With all the time in my hands, I too constantly find myself finding activities to keep busy! I am exploring way of tea and zen meditation here in Kyoto. Feel free to reach out on Japan related reflections.
Just listened to a podcast talking about trusting God's story that creation is GOOD, that the first lesson He wants us to know is that we are enough in His eyes (we are His crowning achievement and we are not judged by our productivity).
I am in a small group, and there is another man in the group who is challenging us to really try to look at Sabbath a little differently with our families, and attempting to make some slight tweaks to one day of our week to remember that we are called to rest...that we are enough!

I want to come to Japan again one day! I will look you up Peck Gee Chua.
Please definitely do! I really enjoy your posts and thoughtful reflections.
Douglas, impeccable timing!

What are some of the tweaks, Jordan?
No preparation for the work week ahead (that needs to be completed on non-Sabbath), no yard work, etc.
Really focusing on rest & play with the children.
