Sabbath

The temperature this morning was twelve degrees Fahrenheit. That’s much too cold for me to go out for church, especially since the service is available on streaming. Between that and not driving, I had an old-fashioned Sabbath.

Usually, I will drive somewhere on Sunday. Or, I will cook a meal. Or, sometimes I will do both. But, not today. I didn’t cook, because using an oven or stove while not being able to see didn’t sound like a good idea. Driving didn’t happen because I am legally blind without corrective lenses.

Today was a true Sabbath with no work being done. I have really enjoyed this rest. Even though my rest was somewhat forced on me, I could have expended more effort and washed dishes. But, I didn’t. Instead, I rested – and it was wonderful!
