October 31 - Struggling with Sabbath - Part 3

After prayer, weighing our priorities and promises, we decided to start a family Sabbath. Here's what that means to me:

A 24 hour period in which

- we focus on God first, family second, friends & community third

- we avoid all the regular household chores that distract us (but still pick up after ourselves & eat)

- we avoid screen time (no computers or TV, limited social media)

- we try to spend time together creatively, with limited expenditures

- we plan ahead so the home maintenance, meal prep, bills & phone calls aren't hanging overhead

And then. We just. "Be".

For a little while.

Right. Then college football season launched. Maybe next month...
