The Sabbath is the day I feel most connected to God. Most connected to my wife and family. To my own soul. It’s the day I feel most awake and yet most at peace. The day I expect joy. The day that sets the tone for my entire week. On Wednesday or Thursday I find myself saying under my breath, “I can do this,” because I know the Sabbath is coming. On Sunday or Monday I find myself thinking, I can do this because I’m living off the Sabbath.
