Come Away And Rest

MaryJaneOliverDoveofHS_500.jpg

The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. He said to them, “Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. (Mark 6:30-46)

The invitation
goes out
to all
the frantic lives
“Come away
and rest.”
