What a gorgeous week end the Lord gave us this week! Both Saturday and Sunday were absolutely gorgeous ~ blue skies, cool temperatures and sunny days.
My honey and I loved being outside and working in our front and back yards on Saturday. Rebekah and Hannah joined us for awhile too. It was fun burning fallen branches and leaves from the 2010 two Blizzards. Our lilacs were smelling soooo good in the breezes. We are now ready for the mulch truck to come and deliver our yearly mulch. Mulch holds back the weeds, amends the soil and keeps the beds from drying out so much. Worth every penny!
Sunday is the Sabbath Day! Sabbath is the 'day of rest'....to put aside what pleasures YOU, those things, places and things that you find 'fun' to do or go to, or visit. Not as a 'have to' but because you love your heavenly Father and Jesus Christ ~ desiring to honor and glorify HIM! We set aside our 'wants' for a higher calling....to magnify and enjoy HIM ---to think about HIM, to talk with HIM, to spend time with HIM and center on HIM. It is a delight, it is a joy and we love HIM!
It is funny, once I looked up the verses many years ago about the Sabbath and realized it isn't just a 'free' day. How my delight in Jesus was transformed. How HE showed me true truth about HIS day. I was a christian a long time before I knew Sunday wasn't just a perfect 'family' day, or a 'free' day to do laundry and house work. Makes me sad to say it took me so long to learn and see the truth of the matter. We are to call the Sabbath a delight! ( I challenge you to get your concordance and look up Sabbath and SEE for yourself....you just might be surprised!)
So YES...it has been one glorious week end. Thank you Lord. YOU are my delight and my joy!
Delighting in Jesus, hugs, Lynette
