Sometimes, a day of rest is not very restful. I had today off, but it seemed I spent the whole day running around. I had to drop paperwork off at work, then take the dog to the park, then pick up a presciption and a few groceries.
Then I baked a cake and started dinner. These were mostly things I wanted to do, but at the end of the night I found myself exhausted and close to tears.
This is why God specified the Sabbath as a day where no work should be done. It's too easy to fill a day with tasks, and leave myself no time to simply relax and feel His presence. And that is something I need--a little quiet time each day. Or a lot of time, because I am easily distracted.
