Too often we focus on what we must give up when, in fact, Sabbath is about what you will gain when you embrace the gift. God isn't trying to sell us something; God is trying to gift us with something: quiet, peace, reflection, renewal and possibly even joy. Start small (the time during that first cup of coffee in the morning) but be intentional; open yourself to the voice of the Divine. Listen for God. Soak up God's eternal love. Even as your coffee wakes you up, this time with God will fill you up.
Shalom Shabbat.
