Remarkably

When there's so much to do
  and you're barely half-through
It's surely a bit disappointing

That the Sabbath is here
  and you're to be of good cheer
For God's angels you will be anointing

So reluctantly you close up shop
  yet remarkably soon as you stop
The way to redemption is pointing

Rest is as important to well being as work. Your poem on observing the Sabbath, is excellent, Gershon. Do have a nice evening, Evelyn

It's hard for many of us to just stop and not "do." Thankfully, God knows best, and we are blessed when we observe the Sabbath, allowing us to be more fervent in our work after rest, reflection, and reconnecting with Him.

Yes, the Sabbath is a wonderful gift from God to man, who never would have thought of / implemented it on his own. Take good care, Juliet. :) gw
