Episode 8 - Not Just for Sunday, Part 2

Show Notes

Rejoin Kaylene and Gwen for Part 2 of their conversation (see Part 1) about Sabbath Keeping. Gwen gets practical, but maybe not in the way you’d expect. In this approach to the practice of Sabbath Keeping you will have permission to struggle with the “how.” You’ll also learn how to set up your family for Sabbath success, and how to create a Sabbath culture in your family and lifestyle.  Sabbath is not just a switch that gets flipped on Sunday, it’s a whole new way of being in the world.

A Sabbath Poem by Stephen W. Smith

Look at all we've had to navigate this week

all the Tweets all the inner tweets

never sent.

But they lodge in us. They stay there and hijack our peace.

All the voices barking at us like angry dogs.

All the layers of stress that have accumulated  

in our inner sanctums.

That lie like thick dust on oak tables.

What if my heart is this old grainy table needing a good dusting.

If it seems too much

then it is too much.

It's a different day today.

It is this day of ceasing

unlike the other days.

Light your candle. I have lit mine.

Sit and stay a while.  

There is no hurry today.

Ponder anew. There have always been problems.

Read a poem and listen to the music that will stir you once again.

Without this rest, we will lose our way.

But not today.  

Not today.
