Superbowl Sabbath

One of the challenges of declaring one day a week as Sabbath, is you fill the rest of the days with NOT so Sabbath like activities.  If something happens to your Sabbath day then you miss out.

Since I have claimed (re-claimed?) Sunday as Sabbath I have LOVED, LOVED, LOVED having the kids come over for a meal and some crafting, slow days, reading etc.  This last Sunday, as most of the world is well aware, was Superbowl Sunday. Now there is a tiny part of me that wants to apologize for even mentioning the Superbowl in a Sabbath blog, but we are a football family.  My husband has had a Superbowl party for 40 years with his friends and it is a truly lovely and fun tradition.  However anyone who has ever hosted anything knows that as a host, no matter how well prepared, it is seldom a relaxing, restful experience.

What I can say about the day, or any hectic day is this.  Find Sabbath where you can.  Revel in what is good.  Enjoy the people God puts in your path and try to draw energy from energy.  It makes the next Sabbath experience all the sweeter!
