what's left? alot

There is a song by Matt Redman that's called when the music stops. It talks about what's left for a composer without music. Today I am lead to ask as I star my sabbatical "What's left for a vicar when he's not vicaring?"
It turns out quite a lot really... there is my wife to run away with to Harrogate... doing an Agatha Christie.
There is the work, the seeds of regeneration which we've planted continue to grow even though I am not watching over them.
There is ny faith that has a God who as the pinnacle of creation made rest.
Jesus said that if anyone wants to gain their life they must lose it... I think I am beginning to know what he means. It's not just about death it's also about rest.
