Sabbath Day

So, I just watched the Passion of the Christ. And now I'm very awake, so I thought I would blog. Ok, so I don't really want to talk about the movie, but I will say this. I found it difficult to identify with Jesus, however, I could identify with his mother. I cried for her through the whole movie.

Moving on! So today, I decided to take a Sabbath for half a day. By that I mean a day of rest, and time alone with God. I didn't have to meet anyone until 4pm and my house was empty so I just decided not to work. It was so relaxing. I've been so busy lately, I don't have time for Sabbath's. And I knew, I was really having a Sabbath when I did not clean up after myself in the kitchen. Normally, I always clean up. But today, I did not clean out the dishwasher until after dinner. It is pathetic that I know I'm having a Sabbath when I stop being domestic. But I'm really such a person. I don't know if I'm a totally a Martha, but I sure have a lot of her qualities. But I do have some of Mary's as well. And besides, it's not my fault that I am domestic. It's just a gift that I have to learn to control and use for service of others, not just for my peace of mind. And if you have a proper Sabbath, you can also let your mind go and let it go to all those place you don't when you are busy and trying to accomplish things. So, that's what I did. It really helps one get a better perspective on life.

And I hope you all have a grand day tomorrow!
