The Sabbath

Last Sunday I asked Brooke if she wanted to run to the store.

Brooke: "Mom, what is that day called?"
Me: "The Sabbath."
Brooke: "Yah, let's just stay home and relax today."

Remember the sabbath and keep it holy.

                    

Probably the most ignored of the 10 Commandments.

Exodus 20
8. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son,
nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor they cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

A commandment with the longest explanation, on purpose.

A law of God that made the top 10 list.

Easiest to ignore.  The easiest commandment to forget.

A valued law for Brooke. Her perfect day, blessed by God.

We are trying to plan accordingly.

"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy."
