S ~ You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but on the seventh day you must stop working. This gives your ox and your donkey a chance to rest. It also allows your slaves and the foreigners living among you to be refreshed. Exodus 23:12
O ~ It's not all about you! This Sabbath rest also allows others to be refreshed. If we don't respond to His invitation to rest, we rob others of the same.
A ~ Living as an example is important, but also refusing to be the cause others to working is important. It's not enough that I rest, I need to help others to enjoy some refreshing too. Sundays are no longer 'the day of rest' for so many shift workers, essential services, or even just retail shops. I can't help society be refreshed, but I can help my family.
P ~ Lord, please help me from enjoying a rest that causes my family to do extra. May we be refreshed together.
