In the Scriptural account of creation, God rested on the seventh day. "So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work he had done in creation." (Genesis 2:3) He didn't rest because he was tired, but rather to give us an example to follow. He knew that we needed a day of rest. It's easy for us to get too busy and that strain is often felt in our families. I encourage everyone to try to limit the activities you have on Sunday. Instead, set aside the Lord's Day as a day of rest, focused on faith and family.
