«And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.» Genesis 2:2, 3
Do your mom and dad have a special time that you, as a family, spend together? Most parents spend very little time with their children. What a pity...
After God created the world and the first people, he created a very special day! It was a day that should be different from all the others forever! It was the Sabbath, a whole day to celebrate the beautiful crea-tion, to rest, and to dedicate to God… A day for families to be together.
Have you seen your mom and dad very tired at the end of the day? They work hard and are always worried about having money to pay for the home where you live, for your school, your clothes, your food, your toys, and other things that you like.
But they also need to rest, don’t they? If not, they will become sick and unhappy. God also created the Sabbath for the entire family to be healthy.
Let’s practice!
Talk to your mom and dad and plan to do something special with them next Sabbath. If you like it, you can repeat it on the next Sabbaths too!
