Look Toward the Sun

The following Self-Care Tip was submitted by Rachel Nafziger Hartzler, of Goshen, IN. Rachel is a Pastoral Care Volunteer:  A favorite practice of mine is sitting in the sun. As often as possible, I schedule into my morning a time to “receive the day” in the sunshine. I sit in silence, receiving energy from the sun both literally and figuratively. I try to focus on the light and love of God, sometimes praying, sometimes reflecting, and sometimes just being. I do this on cloudy days (knowing the sun is behind the clouds) and on cool days. In cold weather, I find a sunny space inside.   May the sun wrap you in light,
