Lovely video reminded me of my childhood, my granny lived with us until I was 12 years old and she kept her Sabbath as she always had even to the extent of washing up after meals we used to put all of the cutlery into a jug of soapy water and delt with them on Monday mornings, after she passed dad made Sundays mums day of rest he took over everything looking after us 2 girls by then I was 12 years old and my sister was 4 but even she had her little jobs to do(lay and clear then dining table brush of the crumbs and fold the table cloth) dad lit our coal fire for mum to sit in the lounge and read the papers, but she always had to come and mix the yorkshire pudding we did try but it was never any good. In the afternoon we played in our rooms (no going out except for church er went to the family service at 12am and then back to Sunday school in the afternoon, while we were out dad used to make a cake for tea time where he used to cook toast by the coal fire. Sorry I got a bit carried away with my wonderful memories I am nearly 80 yet I remember those days with much happiness. God Blessings to you both and enjoy your weekend love as always x
Enjoyed reading your memories!
Thanks so much for sharing your precious memories, Sue.
Thank you for sharing your special memories, Miss Sue.
Thank you so much for sharing your memories with us. It sounds magical. I love my day of rest too.
Wonderful memories thankyou
My husband and I only recently began going to church this past January. We are finding that we like to eat lunch after church and then we both take it easy. My husband will watch sports on tv and I will usually crochet. Every now and then we will drive over to our younger daughter’s home and spend a few hours with them. It’s the only time we see their daughters since they are both now in school.
I appreciate that you share what works for you, but make no judgment on what others do. Your gentle and kind nature shines through with every video. God bless you both!
That's wonderful! We love to make calls and visit with family on our rest day as well! Thank you!
I take Sunday as my day of rest. I go to church in the morning.Then I spend time with family, read, take a nap, call family far away, and try hard not to spend money. I think it is so healthy to take a break and rest. So much of what God instructs us to do really winds up being healthy too. Great video and advice.
Love that Annie! Thanks for sharing!
*The Lord's Day is Saturday! The fourth commandment is clear and that is the ONLY day of the week that God made HOLY and set aside. The Bible is clear! Praise God.*
I grew up keeping the Sabbath from sunset to sunset, as the Bible says, my husband was raised the same way. We are Seventh Day Adventist and we are raising our 5 kids the same way. God is wise and He knows what He does! Sabbath is the best day!
Is the Sabbath day Saturday?
Adventist here too! Wonderful you are raising your kids to keep the Sabbath!
God bless! Just found ur channel. ❤ Fun Fact The Sabath is technically Saturday hence the word for Saturday Sabado in Spanish and Portugues Sabado also. But if wanted to rest on Tuesday its ur personal choose. No Judgement here at all. I started resting on Saturdays as well.
Yes in Spanish Sabbath is Sabado. 7th day is Sabbath. God rested form creating the world in 6 days. He rested on the 7th day. He hallowed it and blessed it. Sabbath rest is a Blessing from God. Jesus also kept the Shabbat Sabbath as God commanded to do. He went into the synagogue as was the custom. We Gentiles are grafted in to Him even though we many not be Jewish descent.
🙋🏻♀️ me too!!! I love that she is sharing how she keeps the sabbath with her family.
What a great video to make during Holy Week. I have kept a day of rest but it wasn’t always on a Sunday since I’m a nurse and I have to work some weekends. I believe that rest is so important to allow our bodies to heal (physically and spiritually)
We agree! It's been a gamer changer for us!
Such a good reminder especially on Holy Week. God created the Sabbath for us because He knew we needed rest and a day to think of Him and honor Him.
Thanks Wendy!
I come from a big family of seven children. On Sunday there was no cooking . As dinner we would eat pistoletbreads with charcuterie. Ever so lovely.
Sounds wonderful!
I really love watching your channel! It is faith based, comforting and full of sound advice! We try to rest on Sunday after church and find it recharges us. Bless you and yours!
Thanks so very much Lori for the kind words!
A day of rest sounds awesome. I'm still working full-time, so I pack a lot of chores into the weekend. I know I would feel guilty if I took a full day of rest. I like the idea of 3 or 4 hours. I'll start small and then work up to a full day. Have a restful weekend.
Yes, exactly! You will look so forward to those several hours!
I love this idea of unplugging and spending the day with intentional time with a spouse and God in prayer! Thank you!
It really is quite amazing Susan!
Watching your videos fulfills my emotional needs, gives me comfort, connects me with my past, rests my emotions, and I binge watch as a way to rest when I am in a day of rest. God Bless You Emmy and Paul. Thank you for your many sweet kindnesses to your viewer family.❤❤❤
Etta, that is such a compliment! Thank you! God is really the one meeting all your needs though!
I so enjoyed this video!! I do sabbath day on Sunday and try not get scrupulous about it! We go to Mass. I do wash dishes and will cook but I enjoy cooking. I won’t run the vacuum and do housework or spend money, unless it’s for a toll or emergency. I just do my best and try to remember that the sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath💖
Love that Lindsay! Exactly right! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Emmy and Paul. I am back. I had to start a new you tube channel, it used to be Tux and Phil's Mom. I changed phones and all my info is stuck in the old one. I have been watching your videos but could not comment. I missed commenting on here.
Thank you for the encouraging video. I hope you have a blessed Ressurection Sunday.
Welcome back! I missed you! You as well! Thank you!
This video was spot on! This is exactly how I was raised and raised my family to spend the Sabbath. I loved the breakfast casserole. I will definitely be making it. Thank you both for showing everyone how to do it. Blessings for your family. ❤️🙏
Thanks so very much Patti!!
Hi Paul and Emmy! I am a Catholic and go to Mass every Sunday. I would love to try to make ahead meals so I really could just rest on Sunday after Mass.
thanks for the great ideas and inspiration ❤️
We are too Lisa! Happy Holy Week to you!
I love the idea of a whole day to relax and recharge!
It's really wonderful Julie!
I like that idea! I never thought of the weekend as a holiday.
It's so refreshing and VERY relaxing lol!
This was inspiring. I am sold on the idea of carving out time for rest, weekly. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
It really is life changing in a positive way! So glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you!
A day of rest is something I need but can't seem to accomplish. I know why we are instructed to do so. It can be so beautiful and restorative. Thank you for sharing your journey. You always encourage me :)
So happy the video was encouraging Sherri! Thank you!
Try making a small change for now. Set aside an afternoon perhaps or even a peaceful morning.
My husband and I have being this for about I months. We love it!
YAY! Love to hear that!
I am fairly new to your channel, and I love it! This subject, Sabbath, is especially near and dear to my heart. Thanks for walking us through your process. I got so many great ideas! I grew up in the 1960s, when "blue laws" were still pretty common. It was easier to opt out of 24/7 busyness back then. We were required to stay indoors and play quietly after church and Sunday dinner (always eaten at home) while our parents took a nice, long nap. Even as a child, I enjoyed the rhythm and tranquility of it. Now, I find I have to fight hard to protect a day of rest. It is so out of sync with American culture. So much has changed in my lifetime, but there are some old ways that are worth fighting for. Sabbath is one of them! God created us, and I think He knows a thing or two about how we function best! :) Thanks for all you do to encourage and educate!
Oh, and you mentioned Lancaster, which is where I live. You pronounced it correctly! That's how we know you're a regular visitor or a local!
Yes! We love Lancaster! We visit quite often! We have even done some shopping videos from the bulk stores!
@@FrugalMoneySaver I love the bulk stores here. I'll have to hunt down your videos. We love Lancaster so much!
Lovely idea. We are Jewish and from sundown on Friday until after sundown on Saturday our sabbath we do no work. Nothing electrical is used. No cleaning is done. No driving. Just quality family time. We light candles to bring in our sabbath and eat home made bread and all pre cooked food which is warmed on in warmer which is lit 🔥 before our sabbath. We read go to synagogue and often have guests or go to guests or family. We play board games whatever. And we learn and share idea. And it is an oasis in a too fast too busy week. 🥰
Love that so much! Thank you so very much for sharing! Happy to have you here at our channel!
Hubby and I take a day of rest on Sunday. We don’t do “work” but will do hobbies or something we enjoy. I do meal plan something easy for Sunday.
Oh us too! That is what we do; our hobbies!
Hi thanks for all your recipes this will help me make simple recipes for my parents greatly appreciated. I enjoy everything you put out on your videos thanks again Emmy and Paul
Glad you like them!
HI Emmy and Paul, what a refreshing video! Thank you for reminding us to take a day to rest. My husband and I haven't done this yet, but feel it's a good idea. We are so busy through the week that we need to take a day or half day to rest. You both always have awesome topics to talk about! Thank you!
So kind Tammy! Thank you!
We Jews keep Shabbat on Saturday as well. It starts Friday night before sundown and ends on Saturday a bit after sundown. Wen light candles, dress nicely, set a beautiful table and have a special meal. The next morning we get up and go to service. Afterwards we come home to a meal made in advance and heated up. Then it is time for a nap or a leisurely walk, maybe visiting with close friends. Then when sundown comes, Shabbat is over and the new week starts. That's when we can cook again but we always choose something very fast and easy.
I really like your idea of making a big batch of coleslaw to eat from throughout.
Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful Shabbat routine!
Thank you so very much for sharing your thoughts on the Sabbatical day❤❤❤
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching Mary!
I so needed this and more kind people like you two in mylife❤
Awww, we love spending time with you all too!
What a wonderful way to spend the time together to recoup. Whether you are a busy person or not. I am definitely going to try this for my husband and myself. Thank you for sharing... Glenda
You will love it Glenda!
Thank you for sharing, I enjoy preparing for Sabbath
Us too! So wonderful!
I so enjoy your enthusiasm and examples. Many thanks…..waving to you from Michigan, Sue. Your both so caring. It depends on the energy of the day. Easter Blessings
Easter Blessings to you and yours! Thank you!
I was smiling through your whole video! So many great ideas! I always look forward to your posts, dear friends! Looking forward to Instituting my own day of rest! Blessings.
So kind Sabrina! Thank you!
Another great video Emmie & Paul! Sunday is my rest day, morning for prayer and worship and the rest of the day spent doing quiet hobbies, planning my garden, napping, etc. I would love for you to share the recipe for that bread - it looks delicious. I look forward to your kitchen chats every week!
Thanks so very much Charlene!
Your fantastic...you know that right? Nice warm channel 🏡
LOL! So kind Alyce! Thank you!
Hi Emmy and Paul. I prepare a similar dish to the chicken dish you made in the crockpot. Very yummy. Hope your week is good and Happy Resurrection Sunday! 🙏🙏
You as well Karen, thank you!
The day of rest sounds wonderful
Thanks Lexi!
Thanks for the encouragement!
Thanks for watching Sheryl!
Such a wonderful idea. Sunday is our day of rest. We go to a early church service and lunch out. It is our only meal out all week. We nap and do whatever we want for the remainder of the day. Work is not done on this day just as God intended. I like the day of prepping for several days. It does make those days so enjoyable. We are a retired couple also. Always enjoy your channel!😘
Thanks so. much Vickie! Sounds like a wonderful way to spend a Sunday!
What a delightful surprise! I've been watching your videos for a few months now and this was a treat to hear that you keep a Saturday Sabbath as well. My husband and I have been keeping it non denominationally for about 11 years now and doing the no cook no clean full rest for about 7. It's been a HUGE blessing in our lives to walk in God's ways and trying to follow His instructions! We also keep the other feasts in Leviticus 23 and have found incredible blessings there too.
Often our Thursday dinner is Saturdays lunch repurposed (roast chicken becomes chicken wraps or chicken soup type of thing) to help make things easier as well. In summer my husband and daughter love a charcuitery style dinner on a hot day. It's so easy to put some things on a tray and we save the dishes with some casual munching.
Enjoy your Sabbath!
Love that so much Sarah! thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful video! I had to giggle when you said that it’s not written in stone. If you think about it, it actually was. It’s called the Ten Commandments!😊
I meant it’s not set in stone how you spend the day…
I appreciate your view and approach to life, thank you for sharing. Would love the recipe for your refrigerator bread, looks excellent. 😊
Thanks so much!
Great tips as always.
Thanks Judy!
What a great video! I think your ideas are amazing!
So kind Valerie, thank you!
This is something I’ve always been drawn toward but it seems like a big undertaking. We both work full time so we tend to run errands on Saturday and do housework and yard work on Sundays. But I’d love to get it all done either during the week or on Saturdays so we could spend Sunday resting! Definitely something to think about. Thanks for sharing how you do it! Very inspiring!
Yes, even if you can take an hour or two! Whatever works for you!
I am going to try this
You will absolutely love it Sheila!
Emmy and Paul, thank you for sharing your "day of rest" journey. I love the idea of having an intentional day of rest. I love your ideas to make it happen. So easy and doable. This will be a new goal for me to work on in my life.
Wonderful Susi! You will love it!
Thank you for the inspiring, and helpful video! 🇨🇦
You are so welcome Marj!
I think the best thing about taking a day of rest like you do would be resting and relaxing guilt free. I take rest times during each day, but I always feel guilty about what isn’t getting done. Love the idea!
Yes, exactly!! That's why we started it!
When I started my real estate career the unemployment rate was high, (otherwise I never would have chosen a career with no salary and a steep learning curve where customers expected me to be available 24/7. My husband and I had moved back to the US from Europe a year before. I probably worked 7 days a week for six months, before taking a day off before I admitted I couldn't continue. I started to take 1 day off per month. We packed sandwiches and allowed ourselves1 tank of gas and took a driving day trip. It was probably a year before I upped time off to 1 day per week. Working a six day week became comfortable and let me be happier and more productive. I realized the world wouldn't fall apart if I had a weekly day of rest. Most customers accepted that I needed it. The ones who didn't, I suggested they find another agent. From that point it wasn't a big leap to deciding I also needed an occasional vacation.
Good for you Joan! So happy you did that!
Emme, you are so right. Resting is necessary to maintain health. My husband is in ministry. Sunday is mostly work and the stress of scheduling and others needs. We must find a time to keep our equilibrium.
Yes, we really needed to implement it for sure!
I really enjoyed watching this video 🤗❤️. Love the calming of your house. I do take a day of rest 👍
Love that Pat! Thank you!
@@FrugalMoneySaver You're Welcome 🤗
Wonderful video!
We have our Sabbath sometimes on Saturday sometimes on Sunday.
Our church has Saturday evening services every other week and we usually attend, we attend the Sunday morning services the other weeks.
Our day of rest is centered around Rest. All the house work is done- that is the one day I usually do not cook. We nap, go for a ride and visit with our daughter and grandson.
Everything is ready by Saturday for our work week on Monday.
It is truly beneficial for our spiritual, mental and physical health❣️
Well said Kat! Thanks!
This is a wonderful approach to the Sabbath. Thank you for these ideas.
Thanks for watching Tanya!
We do our Sabbath rest on Sunday: Church , dinner , nap and quiet activities. The Lord knew best. 😂
We have recently switched our Sabbath to Saturday night -Sunday as well.
Hello have a good evening.
Good Morning Gayle!
I grew up always having a rest day, so I am used to it. I always try to do all chores during the week so my husband and I can take the weekends to rest. I really enjoyed this video seeing how you prep for your rest day 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love that! Thanks Sara!
Great advice…I always have Sunday as my day of rest 😊❤️
Love that!
Bringing back memories of my dad. If we went to visit family and we drove past a house with laundry hanging out Dad would always say the heathens lived there because they worked on Sunday. This was before dryers. I still do nothing on Sunday unless it is something I am doing for me and I am enjoying it.
BHAHAHA! Oh goodness!
Great video! It never occurred to me to plan ahead for sabbath day, except that our menu always says “leftovers” on Sundays. Planning ahead is always a brain workout for me, especially these days when trying to plan ahead food our baby can chew/eat. Finding it hard to “rest” with a baby, but I’m trying to find time. It’s also hard since my husband works for a church so Saturdays are often the day weddings and showers occur. I’d love to learn your bread recipe & try the others you mentioned here
Yes, prepping for Sabbath is so helpful! It's wonderful know food is ready and waiting!
I feel like the Lord has put this in my spirit too. We go to church on Sunday's and I would come home and do two loads of laundry even though I had just done it on Saturday. I'm a laundry holic🙂 I've decided no more. It will be a day of rest after church. Do you mind me asking what faith you are? You are such a blessing and so kind with your explanation of things. I get so excited when you have a new video!!
Thanks so much Susan! We are Catholic.
We like to take Monday after work, for our no work evening. We don't schedule activities or chores, have a simple dinner, and enjoy watching TV and going to bed early. Certainly, it makes Mondays more manageable knowing that when we get home from work, we don't have to do household chores that evening.
I love how you are always so kind and say, "There is no judgement here". This is SUCH a welcoming place. 🤗 Thank you for that!
Brilliant512 it is truthful! We love having you all here!
Susan that's a great idea!
My husband and I have been practicing sabbath rest for a long time. We both take a nap and do whatever we feel like. I’ve just started doing Sunday dinners so I can spend some time with my kids and grandkids too. I prep as much food as I can the day before and choose things that aren’t a lot of work. It also gives us incentive to tidy up the house for company. By the way anyone can choose their day of rest according to their schedule. It’s just a day set aside to rest the way God planned it for us.
Thanks for sharing Patty!
I whole heartily agree!
Thanks for watching Mary!
Lovely ideas! Did I miss the bread recipe? It looks so delish!
No, I was asking if you all wanted to see it.
Sounds so close to the Jewish Sabbath! What a wonderful idea! Love your channel.
Thanks so much Joyce!
I love the ideas of rest which day did the Bible tells us to rest according to the bible?
I do take a day of rest. It’s not always the same day. If I have a full Sunday visiting my parents after church on Sunday, then I do at least part of Saturday. It just depends what’s going on that weekend. I like to read, rest, crochet, and I do occasionally watch videos sometimes on my day of rest. I enjoy learning new things so I do watch a little occasionally. I do work from home and have a stressful job so a day of rest is even more important.
That is so wonderful!! thanks for sharing Kristina!
Another great video. My husband still works full time and finding a rest day together is a challenge. I try to set up my weekdays so that I’m done with what I “need” to do in the home by 3:00 pm and take a seat for an hour or more in my rocker or in good weather, the swing in the garden. My husband is not good with time management which he admits. Instead of doing a few things that take 10 or 15 minutes each weekday evening, he saves them all up for the weekend and then I feel guilty that I might be resting while he’s working.
That's wonderful you take your rest daily!! Thanks for sharing Donna!
In the past my day of peace was Wednesday. Now depending on weather I will use a rainy day. More flexibility because of my Homestead.
Love that Vicki!
I LOVED this video! Easter blessings to you and your family🙏🏻. PLEASE show us the refrigerator bread instructions.
Thanks so much Karen! Easter Blessings to you and yours!
Having a day of rest is definitely a great goal to aspire to and I am sure it helps your mental health a lot. I just need an 8th day of the week! 😂 You had some good ideas, though, like preparing food in advance. I need to get back to doing that more.
Yes, prepping sure does help!
❤❤❤
Excellent video . Thanks
Thanks for watching Brandi!
I just happened upon your channel. Interesting that I was rethinking about keeping the Sabbath again as I used to be involved in a messianic Jewish group but left to go to a non-denominational church. I don’t know if you are aware, but our heart rates slow down during the Sabbath. Anyhow, I guess God wanted me to find your channel and is convicting me to keep the Sabbath, not as ritualistic as I used to. Thanks for sharing and I would be most interested in the recipe for the bread. It looks exactly like what I have been looking for. Just wondering if you keep the feasts too or just the Sabbath? Thanks again for sharing this with us all!
We just keep a day of rest for now...
O, plus Masters is here in Georgia so not going out to crowded 🤗
I thank God for His Sabbath day! I'm a Seventh-day Adventist, and I take this day of rest seriously!
I try to prepare during the week so that by sundown Friday I am at home, with my feet up and a cup of tea, watching some of my favorite Christian programming on 3ABN.
How long have you been following this rest day? Sounds interesting.
Not too long. It was on our hearts for many months so we finally decided to start doing it...Loving it now.
The planning ahead message is good for numerous reasons. I'm not at all religious so observing a sabbath is not a thing for me. I do my cooking on Sunday mornings for the week ahead. I have way more energy in the morning than evening. I enjoy cooking because I find it relaxing after working a mentally draining 40+ hour workweek. I make a casserole or two and a couple of other things for meals and "brown bag" lunches during the workweek. So, doing the opposite works for many of us whose time is "owned" by bosses Monday-Friday. I don't do a "day of rest". I'm a single empty nester, so cleaning is never a big deal and can be done in an hour on Saturday mornings. I also have a lot of clothing, so I can go for two weeks without doing laundry--I have to use a communal apartment laundry room and can get 3 machines going at once.. I try to do enough work ahead so that no day is ALL work. On weekends, I always have it all done by lunchtime and have two whole afternoons to "play".
I love that so much! Sounds perfect! Planning is key! Thanks for sharing Cathy!
Would love to know what some of your favorite books are when you get that reading time😊
Oh my favorites are varied!

@@FrugalMoneySaver That was easy. Something I did notice is that it was not showing as subscribed. Which is very strange because I have been subscribed since the beginning when you had maybe 100 subscribers. I resubscribed. In addition I noticed that I was not getting any of my more Chris^tian based videos anymore either. I just had to resubscribe to several of them besides you.

Perfect Victor!
We've been celebrating the Biblical Sabbath on the 7th day of the week (Friday Eve to Saturday Eve) for the past 7 months and we LOVE it! It has become our favorite day of the week. If you haven't tried it yet, do it, you'll be so glad you did.
Does the 30 minutes start when you place it in the oven or when it reaches the full temp?
What are you referring to?
The French toast.
I observe the Sabbath by staying off social media.
That's such a great idea!
May God Bless you and your family. We have to worship in Spirit and in Truth. EXODUS 20:8-11 commands us to Remember to keep the Sabbath day holy. So it is a day, and it is a holy day. Here the day is specific. Six days you shall work, but on the Seventh day, you shall do no work. The weekly calendar starts with Sunday as the first day, so which is the Seventh day? That would be Saturday. From sunset Friday evening to sunset Saturday evening is the Sabbath day. So the preparation day will and should be Friday. Sunset Thursday evening to sunset Friday evening. The Bible tells us that when we prepare our food on preparation day for two days, the food will not spoil. Also in Genesis chapter 1, and chapter 2:2&3, God blessed and sanctified the Sabbath day.
You can also read John 14:15, Revelation 14:12, and Revelation 22:14. Sister in Christ, I am not judging you, but I am sharing with you my understanding of the holy Sabbath day. I do this in Love. Jesus also was his Custom to preach and teach on the Sabbath day in the synagogue. He was crucified on Friday, and he rested on Saturday, the holy day in the grave, and he resurrected on Sunday. Thank you for letting me share scriptures with you. God Bless 🙏 🙌.
Appreciate your input!
I don't have anything to say other than, I LOVE this channel and the content that is here. Emmy and Paul you are very uplifting and so positive. I truly look forward to seeing your videos on Tuesday and Friday.
So very kind of you to say! You have encouraged us now as well!
Paul and Emmy what a wonderful video! Shabbat is truly a blessing from God our creator. Our family also views Shabbat like a weekly holiday....we look forward to it and sometimes the week whips by so fast we find ourselves saying "It's Shabbat again yay!". We celebrate by eating a meal and we read the Torah and scriptures on Friday evenings with our family. Saturday morning we don't set alarms to wake up. We have coffee together, we take time for our hobbies, we take naps.....we have permission to rest without guilt. It is so refreshing....low key and no stress on Shabbat. God bless you guys ... shalom!
Shalom from Israel
Shalom from BC Canada! And Chag Sameach this Passover and Unleavened!
Chag Pesach kasher vesame’ach!
Shalom from the Mid Hudson Valley, New York.
Denise thanks so much for sharing! Just a lovely comment!
A day of rest is mandatory for me. It's the time when I do my meal planning and gather the recipes that I want to make. Like Paul , I spend the afternoon reading, it is a real treat. Not only is it a time for reflection but it enables you to catch up with your spouse and plan for the coming week. I usually make leftovers or simple meals like omelettes so the cleanup is minimal. Once again, I thank you both for all your great ideas. I think about you both whenever I'm preparing meals or making purchases. You both make the world a better place.
That is such a lovely comment! I feel the same way about them!
Lynn what an uplifting and encouraging comment for us! Thanks so very much!
My family and I celebrate the Sabbath on Saturday also. From dusk Friday evening to dusk Saturday evening. It's a joy and blessing.
Wonderful!
What a great reminder to observe the Sabbath Day by planning ahead on food and cleaning so our body and mind can reset! Thank you Paul and Emmy as always!
Thanks for watching Helen!
This is useful not only for a day of rest, but also for a down day after a big event, or a day (or two) after outpatient surgery, etc. Especially for someone who lives alone. Great tips.
Yes, that's so very true!
Another great video Emmy and Paul. Sunday is our rest day. I make sure I’m up to date with anything I want to do around the home and then we eat lightly, read, knit, do a jigsaw and generally just chill. A lovely way to get some time back for you. As much as I love seeing family and friends, I try to ensure that unless absolutely necessary, it is avoided on Sunday. A day of rest is really beneficial and as you say, it costs nothing.
Love that! Well said!
Sundays were always our day of rest growing up on our Iowa farm. No work except chores. Putting a roast & veggies in the oven before church & Sunday School with a big delicious meal ready when we got home at noon. Afternoon naps for Mom & Dad or visits with relatives who would come for a visit. Supper was always apples and popcorn - everyone fixed their own. Such great memories.
What wonderful memories! Thanks!
Your videos are so full of helpful information. It only gets better & better!
So very kind Kelli! Thank you!
This year I started cooking on Saturday and rest on Sunday after church. It is such a beautiful day for me. I don’t take calls and I certainly don’t look at the news.
That's great! It helps to prep a bit!
Thank you for sharing how you prep for a rest day. It was very useful and so inspiring. When I am organized, I clean the house on Thursday evening and do grocery shopping on Fridays. Then I can chill during weekends. But, that is not happening very often and then I stress out the whole weekend with a long To Do list. You inspired me to be more thoughtful about incorporating a holiday in a week. Thank you both! ❤
It really is a wonderful time of rest Mina!
Thank you again for sharing your day of rest. Everybody should have a day of rest. It seems that our society tries to make you "think" that every day should be FILLED with activities. I agree with you two because I make a day during the week in which I do not go anywhere and just relax. Love you guys!
Yes, it's so helpful just to do a bit of nothing lol!
Prayers going up for Everyone Jesus answered the knock on the door 🚪
Thanks so much Wanda and Ritzi!
Another great video Emmy!😊 You're so right, Sundays are not restful with church and family commitments. My husband isn't retired yet so we will fit in an afternoon or evening of rest whenever we can. It's different every week. Have a blessed Easter.
That's wonderful you found the time! You have a blessed Easter as well! Thank you!
