Shabbat Shalom

                     Exodus 20:8-11

"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. "Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.


"For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.

Good Morning And Shalom:

Today, most people have off of work and school for the weekend. During the week we get a lot of the things done that is needed to provide for Families and to fulfill our obligations and goals. However , the weekend comes , most of these types of regular duties stop. many of us don't take a break . We try to catch up on everything else that is needed to be done: groceries, lawn maintenance, Homework and even work over the weekend Etc.

Its great that we take are able to have so much to do, However, what's even more important  is to rest. To really take a mental and physical break.

I do remember when being very young and for as I can recall, visiting my grandparents on Saturdays . They were conservative Jews. They didn't turn the lights on or do any work. We would go swimming in there pool and would have a nice kosher lunch. It was something I used to love. They always had the food prepared from the local deli and was ready to go.

Isn't it interesting that these simple things had a life long lasting impression? That's the same with God , our heavenly Father. He wants us to rest , however not just rest but rest in Him. To take time out from all our thoughts and concerns and just enjoy what He has made for us to enjoy. To give Him thanks for it as well. To enjoy the company that we keep and take a break , one day each week.

All of our concerns , worries, frustrations will still be present , after we take a break, however, If we know God has made our day to  be glad and rejoice in it, to not to worry about tomorrow because each day has enough in it by itself , and we are to rest and to Know He is God, then all that will matter , is the Joy you will receive and the peace of God that will supersede all our understanding.

You see its simple math, sort off speaking; all of our concerns, worries , fears cannot go with you when you pass on from this life. They will not be remembered and or taken into account that you do now. So simply let go and let God. God ordains it and He also rested , so if its important for Him and its important for Him to us , then it should be also important within us.

Have a great weekend and be blessed . Amen!
