Vacation” comes from the word “vacate” – to leave a place that was previously occupied. Changing location is the essence of vacating.
If we go back even further into this word’s history, we find that the old Latin root “vacare” means “to become unoccupied.” Vacation at its best includes unoccupied space and unoccupied time. Here’s to vacating a little space and time, that God might enter in.
