Sabbath comes, ready or not. It arrives like an old friend quietly knocking on the door, asking if you’d like to come out and play for the day, and my childlike response each week has been a resounding yes! I not only need the break and the rest, but my soul demands it. I am worth my time. My relationships with God and others are far better off if I am committed to meeting my own needs. Sabbath allows for this. The God and Creator of the universe deems me worthy of rest, and I relish in it.
