Just as God rested on the seventh day after His work of creation, we too are called to set aside one day each week for rest. This rest allows us to deepen our relationship with God and to nurture our relationships with family and friends. True rest is not merely the absence of work or activity, but a deliberate focus on what brings lasting peace, joy, and love—gifts that ultimately come from God.
Just as God rested on the seventh day from his work of creation so too, must we rest one day a week so as for focus on our relationship with God and our relationships with friends and family. True rest is not simply the absence of activity, but is the focus on activities that lead to the deeper and meaningful peace, joy, and love that only God can offer us.
