SLICE OF LIFE #20- REMEMBER THE SABBATH AND KEEP IT HOLY?

So for years, I've been trying to figure out the "Sabbath" thing.

And I just don't quite get it.

Are there really people whose lives are so together

that they can take an entire day

every week

and just worship

or relax

and re-invigorate

for the next week?

Those people really exist?

Because today,

I got up and went to church,

I went to Sam's Club

and the regular grocery store,

and unloaded $300 worth of groceries.

I worked on taxes.

I took my son to get his hair re-braided

And did work in the car for two hours

while I waited for him.

I fed my kids.

I did a couple of hours of school work,

And now it's ten o'clock,

And I still haven't written my Slice of Life,

or prepared for the professional development I have to lead tomorrow,

And the sink is full of dishes

that I need to do before I go to bed.

I just don't get the Sabbath thing.
