We were able to stay ahead of the storm and return after everthing was plowed. We even came home to a plowed driveway and shoveled sidewalk. It was such a blessing to come home to that loving act and I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you. You know who you are and you are much appreciated.
While we were enjoying the waterpark, something caught my attention. It was both our families enjoying each others' company. Laughing, talking, eating and playing (and the momentary emotional breakdowns, but that is to be expected with kids.) On the drive home I kept thinking, this was a great trip. A great break and a great time with friends. This must be what heaven will be like.
Audio Adrenaline wrote a song, "A Big House" describing what they thought the glories of heaven will be like. Whether they are right or off by a little, it will be a place for God's people to enjoy Him and to enjoy each other. And He instructs us to take time off each week to have a touch of heaven here on earth.
He says in Exodus 20, "Honor the Sabbath day and keep it holy." We are to be a people who take a break each week and enjoy life with our family, friends and God. Jesus also addresses this issue of the sabbath when he answered the Pharisees about the sabbath in the Gospel of Mark.

The Sabbath was made for man. We were given a weekly gift from God; the Sabbath. It is a time to refresh and enjoy life.
Are you taking time to enjoy life? Family? Friends? God?
What are you waiting for, take a day off and you will see what God can do through it.
As you close: Take some time to thank God for your family, friends and the gift of the sabbath.
God Bless!
