It’s another weekend! Days to relax and gather enough strength for yet another week of our life! But how are we to relax? Is it by drinking, dancing, gossiping and wasting time? Is it only by sleeping by the beach side, playing games and rollicking with family and friends?
Well, the foregoing without more will not give us that satisfying refreshment that we long for. Some of these activities may even leave us sullen and heavy. This certainly is not our aim. We have laboured for a number of days. We have attended to our material needs and earthly goals. Maybe we should consider using the days of rest to review the work days, survey them in our mind’s eye and draw lessons from the experiences of the recent days. The lessons we talk about here are those that will help us mature as true human beings.
If we do this we will grow steadily in the material and spiritual sense and would have used our days of rest wisely. May we be able to obey the Commandment that demands that we remember the Sabbath (day of rest) to keep it holy!
