Suggestions for a Great Sabbath
- A great cup of coffee, with hot milk, in a great big mug, to savor it.
- ¨Breakfast with your favorite breakfast foods – make it, and then eat it in bed!
- ¨A hot bath, with fragrant bath oil and a candle or two –
- ¨And your cup of morning coffee/afternoon tea/evening wine?
- A facial massage – using fragrant oils or lotion; use your fingertips and start with your forehead and move out to the temples, repeat; down to the nose and out to the cheeks, repeat; around your mouth and chin and jaws, out to your ears and hairline – wherever t’s working! Finish by tapping your face lightly all over with your finger tips.
- Read in bed, as long as you want to.
- Write a real letter to a real friend on real stationery or a beautiful card.
- Or write a letter to yourself, or write in your journal.
- ¨Treat yourself to a great book, or a movie, in the house or out.
- ¨Take a long, slow walk, and take the time to notice the trees and flowers, to hear the birds chattering to each other, to see what wonders God has made. Take the time to notice what’s going on in your own heart, too.
- Prepare a wonderful meal for family or friends – if you like to cook;
- ¨If not, plan a wonderful meal out with family or friends!
