Waking Up to the Gift

The heart of sabbath is that we cease our work so that we can rest and delight in God and his good gifts. It’s an opportunity for us to stop, rest, delight and worship. It’s a day we give ourselves permission to soften and slow, to be more receptive and available to God and our loved ones, to choose contentment and gratitude over consumerism, and to participate in activities that restore our bodies and souls.
