One of the bonus benefits of having house church gatherings on Sunday nights is that it frees us to Sabbath. Sometimes that means relaxing around the house or walking the neighborhood, oftentimes (like today) it means getting out into the city. Today was one of those days, walking around, breakfasting at Trudy's, picking out a pumpkin from the local pumpkin patch; general reminders of what I love about the city. I am reminded of this poem by Robert Frost
The city is all right.
To live in one
Is to be civilized,
Stay up and read
Or sing and dance
All night and
See sunrise by
Waiting up instead
Of getting up.

we too enjoyed a day of rest today. spent time with the kids, went to the park, slept, and just enjoyed our blessings. Sabbath truly was made for man, and today we took the time to enjoy it.
