Week 2, part 2 of #SabbathasResistance
1. How might we help those who have alternative schedules and may not be able to truly have a time of work-stoppage find rest?
2. Have you put any of this into practice? How has it gone?
- 1makes me think of working moms like you and my daughter. I try to help out with kids and occasionally give relief to her with a meal or a little cleaning. 2im trying to be more intentional about resting in Jesus. Maybe on my sabbath I need more devotional/reading time and less tv/social media time. I also have a devotional time every morning before I start my day which is a great way to rest in Jesus.
- Ugh, I feel like I can't answer either of these questions currently. 1. I think we can find ways to offer help and take something off their plates. I love what Diane said about simply helping with kids, cleaning, or cooking. I also think being a listening ear so they don't have to carry it all alone. I know this week I needed all the people around me that I could get. They couldn't necessarily do anything to remove the workload, but they were there and listened when I needed them, and gave lots of hugs. 2. Since I am just watching part 1, I have not put anything into practice, but I will. I haven't even been able to do my Bible study in the mornings, which also affects how the day starts. I have been making sure that I don't make phone calls on my way to school this week so I can simply be in the car, listening to the music and just spending time with God. And, maybe in the end, that I the time I make my Sabbath each day. It's the only time I can almost guarantee that nobody needs me.
