I have mentioned before that
though I observe Shabbat – I do not do so as orthodox or pious people, do.
Today (as was yesterday)
was a wet day. We are in full Fall swing; weatherwise ... and witnessing the power of our Creator's might.
Shabbat, to me, is a
spiritual balancing of my whole being. I utilize the 24-hour Shabbat space of
time to “just be.”
I cook meals if
staying in – today I washed a load of laundry, and watered
houseplants; I read – sometimes I watch vintage movies; I answer the
phone when it pings – the only people in my life are fellow Christians, if
they are texting, it is Christ-centered and short: they know I observe Shabbat
and spending quality time with Yeshua is 100% of my main focus (both texts
today were to ‘bless’ me … and to invite me to a shared luncheon tomorrow
afternoon); I breathe in and out – memories are hard this time of
year, even though I know where Bob’s soul is.
To sum Shabbat up for me: I
spent 24-hours of {downtime} focusing on Elohim’s favor towards me, Yeshua’s
love for me, and staying positive with a Faith-filled outlook on the incoming
week. The past week was fraught with drama traumas from one thing, or another,
and staying positive and Faith-filled is a must to maintain good health … keeping
my immune system humming in full throttle, to ward off debilitating illnesses.
Upping my happiness
barometer is an act of faith, patience, and steady practice 😉
You can do it too 😊
Not sure where
to start? Tell yourself, “everything
is in Elohim’s hands; He loves me and wants the best for me. I’m going to be
just fine” – then smile: repeat as many times as necessary.
Keeping Shabbat is not hard
to do. Without any cumbersome rituals, Shabbat can still be a good Day to “just
be” 😊
