"To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it." Mother Teresa - Missionary (1910-1997)
In early times, the oil lamp was vital to the farmer or village dweller, and thus the lamp had to be kept in good working order filled with oil, a good tapered wick and readily available. Our body, mind and spirit are no different. Resting one day a week, feeding our spirit with God's oil-based ointment (God's Word) and allowing our mind and bodies to renew through rest, quiet contemplation will allow us to be wholly present and available to ourselves and others. Seek to renew yourself, rest and be fed wholesome Godly direction. Like a lamp you can help light an eternal path for others in need.
