THE OTHER SABBATH REST
by Laura Wibberding So we made it--my two youngest just got promoted out of their Beginner class at church, and into Kindergarten. I'm relieved, mostly because I don't have to stay in class with them now, but also because of the Sabbath Theme program. Maybe you know it--the program where kids learn about how we cook and clean on Friday, and then have the perfect Sabbath day. I've been through that program with three kids now. On the one hand, it's sweet to sing the songs and imagine a perfectly cleaned house, and all the idyllic Sabbath activities. On the other, I can't help thinking my church is officially teaching my kids that I am failing. We have the other Sabbath rest. This is what a real Sabbath looks like for us: Friday night-- It's January, so Sabbath begins at supper--soup and rolls. Like most meals, it's loud and fussing happens, but for Sabbath we have a strategy. Jim plays praise music on his phone and streams it through the TV...
