Importance of rhythms and laws in clearing space

Have you ever taken a full day of sabbath rest? Right now, it sure sounds good! It seems to me the only times in my life that I have really done this, have been the times I am so sick that I can't do anything - even if I wanted to. Which leads me to believe that if I chose sabbath rest on a regular basis, I wouldn't get to the point of having it forced on me by illness. So much easier said than done. I think it's okay to squeeze in sabbath hours if we can't realistically get a full day of sabbath. A nap, an evening of board games with family or friends, curling up with a good book and listening to jazz - these are all sabbath moments. May you find moments to rest in God today!
