Assuming you rest 1 day of the week, what do you typically do on that day of rest? What do you find restful? Are there still things that you must do that day that aren’t so restful?

    Some weekends I can rest a good bit, but I have little kids and a kid with special needs. Sometimes there’s just no time to actually rest until the kids go to bed. Then, my wife and I enjoy some time together and rest… but then it’s bed time before we know it.

    I’m also one who likes to do stuff. I try to keep from filling up my schedule too much on my sabbath day, though. I have to remember that it’s not a day to get home projects done.

      I’m not a dad, but I have recently (been) volunteered to babysit my sister’s twin infants on a bi-weekly basis. I have a new appreciation for the time demands of parenting! Nevertheless, it is good to know that this occupation is one that is from the lord. He that is a dad cares for the things of the world, how he may please his children, so to speak. May the lord bless you and your family.

      Yes, “home projects,” can definitely get in the way. They can be hard to juggle.
