Sabbath (Gabrielle)
June 16, 2008 by Gabrielle
I went to church yesterday. It was Sunday and in our world this isn’t unusual, but it was the first time I’d been in two weeks. It’s amazing what two weeks away from the worship of the Almighty and the fellowship of the saints will do to one’s week.
Sunday afternoon at home was a bit more stressful than normal because we were watching two extra children for some friends. And after all the children were either returned or in bed Seth, Crystal and I sat down to play a game. Loud funny music, a couple rum and Cokes, and some tired, stressed out people don’t make for a really intense game, but it made for a fun time. At one point Seth got laughing so hard about a passage in the Bible he started crying. A jar of pickles later I had won the day and the game. For a full-contact, in your face, rules crunchy economics game I do pretty well. This time, though, I crushed my opponents like circus peanuts. Crush, crush crush!!
It was a good Sabbath. It was restful and delightful. I can’t wait to do it forever.
