IvonneLopez.com - Happy Sabbath
Well… After a long and not so fantabulous week I must say I am very happy that it is Sabbath. I can chill with my family (I wonder where they are…) and REST! And most importantly forget about that nasty to-do list sitting on my desk at wor… Sorry that should be a swear word on sabbath!
A lot of people ask what I do and what is the point of it all. Well for one Roger, I don’t turn into a pumpkin, though I must say cost of living/stress would be next to nil. Not a bad idea… Anyway, here’s a brief overview. Feel free to comment on what you do on Sabbath or what it means to you.
It all started a bunch of years ago when God puffed all of this universe into existence (Did you know if gravity’s pull was just a little stronger or a little weaker we couldn’t exist?). Once he finished, God rested and started this wonderful institution we call sabbath.
Until 321A.D., Sabbath was the 7th day of the week for most Christian/religious beliefs. Then, Constantine issued an edict which changed Sabbath to the day of the Sun god or Sunday for Christian churches (today, the Catholic church).
Then, along came Martin Luther, among other, who got frustrated with Christianity in his time and era, and started the protestant reformation. Over the next several hundred years, different church groups formed and of those, several decide to returned to the 7th-day Sabbath.
Whether you believe that it should be from sundown to sundown or sunup to sundown what you do in it, is what really matters. In the traditional form people avoiding shopping, leisure activities, and laziness. They spend time with family, reflect on their blessing and try to help others. Some Christians attend church, (25-40% in the US) and do missionary work in the evening.
I pretty much spend time with my family, sleep, go to church, visit old friends and enjoy nature in some sort of fashion. My favorite part of church is praise and worship. For all you who didn’t know, I love to sing. Gynthia used to always call me out for singing in high school (I have gotten better, really.) I don’t think i could survive without Sabbath rest. I love the “escape” from all the things that gives us heart attacks and aneurysms.
So… Happy Sabbath. Enjoy!
