I have let go of the need to get it all done.  Then I am working on letting go of the guilt from not getting it all done! Setting Sundays apart from the rest of the week has made my Sundays more enjoyable, and I do feel closer to God.

~Janet Kirk, Member of the Sabbath Society

May you find the courage to let go of the guilt of what you left undone from your list of hopeful accomplishment. Find a soft spot on the couch and breathe deep. God looks on the earth and it trembles, brushes his fingers across a mountain and it smokes, so perhaps its time to get perspective.(Psalm 104)  He longs for your sweet meditation, an offering of soulful melody over sputtering pancakes; an extended focus, instead of a mindless glance. Draw near and rejoice.

Happy Sabbath Friends!
