She Elevates Humanity

~ More than Israel has kept the Sabbath The Sabbath has kept Israel ~ -- Anonymous She restores my sense of balance returns my sanity Lifts me high above the workplace elevates humanity Friday night two angels come gliding through the door Behold! Sabbath lights kindled ~ the world's at peace once more

Lovely tranquil piece that puts you at peace Gershon. A favorite my friend... Love the Sabbath day of rest and focus on God... Your words reflect this peace...
