I'm not a Christian but can relate to the message of many of these quotes. When it comes to Sabbath keeping, I will add one of one of my favorite writers: Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel.
He said, 'The Sabbath is a Palace in Time'. It's all about building the Shabbat attitude for rest and resouling and then putting gentle structures in place to facilitate that rest.
Blessings,
This Good Life
Beautiful..I guess I must keep walking and not give up:)
I like what Amy Carmichael and John Harrison said…

Thank you once again for these wonderful Sunday Sabbath Keepings. You're a treasure, Sandra. ((hugs))
I was so glad to see your Sabbath Keeping appear on my list of updated blogs – always good thoughts, often a smile and the special connection of one walker on the road of Christianity to another walker – same road different places and same goal. Bless you – we are praying.
I agree with jane and Lance 🙂
I appreciate the time you take also for Sabbath Keeping~every week!
And I think of both of you each day.
xo, misha
Hello Sandra and Dave:
We are sure that we are not alone in appreciating the time and trouble which you take each Sunday to share these thoughts and ideas.
They help to make a Sunday different from the rest of the week which is, we feel, as it should be.
