Carry No Burden

S ~ Then I posted some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Sabbath day. Neh 13:19b

O ~ Carry no burden on the Sabbath. Everyone needs a day to be burden-less.

A ~ This is the scripture that Charley Blom shared with Audrey and I at Genesee Home. "Carry no burden on the Sabbath". I need to remember this. To take a day where there are no burdens. This reminds me of the need for a Sabbath. So many things run through my mind as I type. Re-reading "The Rest of God" by Mark Buchanan. Differentiating between a day off and a Sabbath day. What does a Sabbath day look like alone? with Audrey? with the kids??  I guess the immediate application would be to talk about this with Audrey. I will copy this note to her to help make this application a reality.

P ~ Lord, please help me and my Dree walk burden-less for 24 consecutive hours per week. I want to honour the 'spirit' of this principle.
