Four - Sabbath Feasting

One thing that we've been trying out here recently is really making a feast of the Lord's Day (Sunday!) as a reflection of how Sunday should be our crowning day of the week - this is the day specially set apart for worship and celebration of Christ's resurrection!

While our Sunday lunches have usually been our one particular special meal of the week, we have been raising the bar of late by adding a special drink (e.g. rootbeer! fizzy grape juice!) and drinking it in our wine glasses - children too!

We're still tweaking and thinking about how to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. The children are also being taught why this is our special day of the week, and I think they are enjoying it too. It is nice to be emphasizing the positive side of this command rather than continually emphasizing the negative (don't work, don't shop, etc.).
