Sabbath - A Day of Rest

Ahhhhh! Sabbath. God was so good to give us a day of rest. I don't know how anyone could call the Sabbath a burden. It is such a blessed day and we look forward to it all week. Our countdown to Sabbath tends to start pretty early in the week. At some point, a little bitty one will ask,"Mommy, when is Sabbath?" Then I tell them and they continue to ask until we get to the Sabbath.

I love sitting here in the morning enjoying a cup of coffee, chatting with my hubby, reading the Bible, looking at facebook. The little kids love eating "Sabbath Cereal" (aka, junk food like Capn Crunch, etc.) and watching Sabbath videos. The bigger kids love sleeping in and eating Sabbath Cereal. Then we start the day fellowshipping at congregation. Every week we have a potluck afterwards and the kids hang out with their friends and play on the playground. After that, we continue fellowshipping at our house, since several of the teens, and often other people, come over to our house to hang out for the rest of the day - or maybe even to spend the night.

It's a day filled with God and the people we love. It's all about relationship. What could be better than that?
