Time for a break

A lot of families take vacations every year. I remember sharing earlier how much I liked going on vacation in the summer when I was growing up. Visiting new places, seeing new things, trying something different. And now, I get to take a vacation and step away from the normal busy schedule. Pastor Candy and I are looking forward to the opportunity to take a break and to go visit my mom in her winter home. The thing is - God knows we need breaks too which is why He gave us the Sabbath. The religious leaders made things more about the Sabbath and obeying rules than they did about God giving it to us for rest. That's what Jesus said - "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." All of that to say, I'm looking forward to a good Sabbath rest. And for you, don't forget to take a break. it refreshes you body, soul and spirit. By the way, they come after you've done your homework and chores, not the other way around.
