The Sabbath Challenge

Most define a Sabbath as: a day of religious observance and abstinence from work, kept by Jews from Friday evening to Saturday evening, and by most Christians on Sunday.

Sabbath is a day where your chores are done, even if they are not.

Sabbath is a day where only my close friends and family can get in touch.

Sabbath is a day where I look for ways to smile with my family.

A day of accomplishing nothing.

A day to banish thoughts of the upcoming week, dreaded trips away from home, and all that is included.

Sabbath is a day to look at the lake for long periods of time, and not justify why I'm not doing more.

Sabbath is a day where I remind myself I am not a machine.

Sabbath is a day to look for reasons why God called this creation "good".

Sabbath is a day to enjoy the family and life you've been given.

Take the Sabbath challenge. Write down how you feel in the morning. Take an ACTUAL Sabbath, then compare how you felt in the morning with how you feel at the end of the day.

God doesn't leave us where we are.

Let him charge you up.

You'll be thankful.
