Matthew 11:28
“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”
How do you sabbath?
Rev. Sam shares her story of sabbath on page 25 of the pamphlet, “The Sanctuary for Lent 2020.” She shares a story of how her world and how her sabbath changed after having a child. Everything changed. The Bible tells us to keep the sabbath holy.
Do you have a routine or an activity that helps you celebrate “sabbath?” Rev. Sam explains that cooking and doing meal prep while listening to music is critical to her being. She is able to hear all the noises, from slicing food to the lyrics of songs to feel her spirit and soul. She’s able to recognize her pains and her joys. In doing these things she is able to feed her body, mind and soul, gain nourishment and a renewed spirit.
How do I sabbath?
• I write and share on this blog site. It is relaxing and stimulating all wrapped up together.
• I worship with my friends and family on Sunday’s and share in communion.
• I spend quality time my Esther’s Circle Women’s group at church.
• I engage in interesting conversations with my coworkers with about religion and politics.
• I stay connected with friends through texting.
• I take pictures of nature: trees, flowers, ponds, lakes, birds…lots of things.
• I go for a drive on roads less traveled sometimes with the radio on and sometimes in silence.
• I spend time with my family.
• I pray.
As you can tell, I try to stay connected but it is also good to spend time alone with God. Sit in the silence and listen for God’s voice. He speaks in a small still voice. When we sabbath, we admit we need God’s help.

1 Corinthians 13:12
“For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.”
Have you ever found yourself squinting to see something more clearly? I wear glasses and often I ind myself squinting or taking my glasses off to change my point of view, hoping for an improvement. 1 Corinthians 13:12, is one of my favorite verses in the Bible. From early in my childhood I heard stories of Jesus and of Heaven, this stories helped me imagine what places and people looked like. It wasn’t until I was older and discovered if you read a book your imagination gets to create all the visuals of places and people based upon what the writer tells you. Then, someone decides to make that book into a movie and the producer gets it all wrong, lol! Our imaginations create things that are personal and hold great meaning to us, that’s the beauty of reading, at least for me. The Bible offers glimpses of Heaven and just in my span of life so far my image of Heaven has changed because my knowledge of the Bible and my personal relationship with Jesus has grown stronger. My vision has improved but still remains a bit out of focus.
As I began writing this I was drawn to the word faith and the importance it is in the lives of believers. As I was thinking about the word, “SEE,” I began to see the connection it has with faith, faith helps us SEE. We each SEE Jesus in our own way, our experiences have molded an image of who Jesus is to us and that’s why it’s called a personal relationship. It’s different but the same, Jesus is Jesus our visual image in our minds may look different, but He is indeed JESUS to us all! Do you remember a few years ago the dress color debate circling the internet, some said black while others said it was black & blue and white & gold? Turns out it was actually blue & black. *https://www.nhpr.org/post/what-color-dress-debate-broke-internet#stream/0
No matter your visual images of Jesus and Heaven, this I know…One day we will SEE face to face.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” ~ Matthew 5:8
