The past two weeks I have attempted to begin the Sabbath by pausing to contemplate some aspect of my week reviewing how God has spoken to me in some quiet way as I start the day He has set aside to fellowship with us. This week was a busy week and as a result I had another appointment that left me rushing to get home before sunset that left me falling over the edge into Sabbath instead of ushering it in quietly. I have contemplated often how Lisa's and my dog Pogo illustrates my rushed relationship with God. I may explore that more in depth in another post at another time, but today is Valentines day so I want to explore that concept a little today.

As the Sabbath begins this week it is a much different environment than last Friday - last week the warmth of the fire helped drive out the chill in the air, this week the A/C is on pushing back against the 80 degree temperatures outside.

As I sit here at the beginning of the Sabbath enjoying the fire and sipping peach tea I am reminded of the route attributed to Albert Einstein "Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value. He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts in. But a man of value will give more than he receives," and I contemplate how I can add value to the world. Abraham Lincoln stated it another way when he said "I want it said of me by those who knew me best that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower wherever I thought a flower would grow." What kind of thistle plucker/flower planter am I?
