Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

I am thankful for the Sabbath. God has given a period of time where I can not only rest from my labor but also spent extra time in communion with Him. I know I sometimes do not give the sabbath the respect that God wants me to, but I still gain a blessing from taking time out of my normal routine and letting my mind focus on God. The body is refreshed with rest and so is my mind and spirit, giving me the strength and motivation to serve God well in the week to come. Jesus, help me take the time today on Your holy sabbath to receive the blessings that You want to bestow upon me.
