The Sabbath is meant to be the best day of the week, filled with joy and laughter, with good friends and great people. The Sabbath serves us as a weekly celebration of all that is good about God, the world and life itself.

Celebration, embracing joy, embracing all that is good in the world, enjoying the fellowship of believers, even if it is just for one day a week, is a powerful tool to resist cynicism and to become people of joy.
