Join The Sabbath

How to start The Sabbath; smile.  Let God and you know you are in, you are human, you believe, you need help with your unbelief and you want to be involved.  Stop yourself and acknowledge that there are two parts to The Sabbath, meeting with others to reset your life towards God and refocus your attention on Him and insure He is absolutely central and foundational to everything—and secondly to rest with family.  Rest is as varied as humans are.  Some rest mowing the yard, some rest boating, some rest picnicking, some play games and some hike and some spend hours at the dinner table but all should rest together.  At the end of the Sabbath, along toward dinner come back together in your home and just be close, like sit together in the living room, watch a wholesome movie, Pollyanna is a good one or Planet Earth (Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins was good when I was kid) and end the day like you began, read The Word, make it interesting for you children, play a game with it but make The Word, the point to again refocus on God.  Have family prayer where everyone gets on their knees and prays out loud.  Lie down in bed, hold your lovers hand, and pray with thanksgiving.  Smile.
