There has been a great emphasis in the church on keeping the Sabbath Day holy. We have heard many conference talks on remembering the importance of Sunday. One of my favorite talks about honoring the Sabbath day is by President Nelson: The Sabbath Is a Delight. Sometimes I ask myself how is the Sabbath a Delight?! and when will the Sabbath be a delight?! But sometimes (sometimes) there are delightful moments in our Sabbath day! One thing that has helped us is to make a "Sabbath Can" where we wrote down on strips of paper ideas that we can do on the Sabbath day like: go for a Sunday Stroll, deliver cookies to friends or neighbors, read stories from the friend, watch Bible Videos, or Mormon Messages, play a game as a family, work on Faith in God/Scouts....just a few ideas!
We went for a beautiful drive through the valley and saw the fall leaves in the country. Then we went for a walk along the river.
It was nice to take advantage of the sunshine and nice weather. We will be stuck indoors for many months when the snow starts to fall so we were glad to get out and enjoy the perfect autumn weather!
I love this little family of mine and grateful for the Sabbath day we have to be together. It's not easy with meetings, preparing meals, and other distractions, but I'm grateful for the special day we have to honor our Father in Heaven and our Savior Jesus Christ!
