Remember the Sabbath Day - Re-Posted

 

Today I speak of marigolds

Kissed by an autumn rain,
And of sweet lavender in bloom
While warmer days remain.

The week holds days of busyness
Of being on the go,
But Sabbath is a day for peace,
For living nice and slow.

A day for seeing all God’s Grace
For what it’s meant to be,
And to count all the blessings that
His Grace has meant to me.

A Day that stands apart each week
From the fast and routine,
Filled with the gifts born of His Grace,
The seen and the unseen.

And so today I spent some time
Alone within His peace
With marigolds and lavender
And Sabbath’s sweet release.

Exodus 20:8

Remember the Sabbath Day by keeping it holy.
