  • The Sabbath...


    I have a friend who tries to make sure to take a sabbath every week.  It's not so much on a Saturday or Friday or any day in particular...she just takes a day of rest.  A day she has off from work and since she is very active in the church it is usually not sunday either. 


    Although I personally don't take a "sabbath" as often as I should...I will say it's one of those goals I have set for myself.  There's a lot to be said about a day of rest where one retreats from the madness of schedules and "to-do lists" to just relax and focus on God a little bit more.  Perhaps if more people took a personal sabbath in their lives more often we would have healthier families and see less burn out in the field of ministry. 


    Remember what the red text says about the Sabbath....if you don't....go back and look it up....and ponder what was meant by His words...

  • Woohoo!  Glad to hear your goal of sabbath-keeping...press into it and see how blessed you will be!  It's worth reflecting why God gave it as a commandment alongside the other "thou shall nots"...as a "Thou SHALL keep the Sabbath."....work is a gift/priviledge...sabbath is a necessity/commandment.

    Blessings...and hope you're having a great time with the MKs....give my favorite red-headed MK a hug for me when you see her! :)
