We were created to do meaningful work and be fruitful, but we weren't meant to become slaves to work and productivity. Our world of hurry never stops, but we can develop a counter-habit of stopping each week to rest in the goodness of God's creation together.

Sabbath comes from the Hebrew word, Shabbat, which means "to stop." 

This week set aside a day or specific time to stop working, unplug and enjoy rest with God and community. Try starting with a meal to kickoff Sabbath. Light a candle, say a prayer, bless your kids or friends and pour some wine!
