After reading about how Laura's family observed the Sabbath, my boys discussed how happy they are that they can play football with their cousins on Sunday afternoon.

Our normal Sunday activities are:

Go to Sunday School and Church,

Eat lunch at my DH's parents' house,

Kids get to play with cousins after eating while the adults socialize,

Come home for naps,

I work on my grocery list and menu based on the coupons in the paper;

Then I will take one child with me to grocery shop, or I will go alone;

After the groceries are put away, we eat a quick bite of dinner;

And DH will take the older children back for evening service at church;

I keep the youngest at home for some one-on-one time;

We normally do not do any household chores on Sunday unless it is absolutely necessary, such as a sick child during the night or wet bedding. I did have the children pick up all their toys last night, and that helped my Monday start off much nicer.

Have a nice fall night!

I love Sunday's when dh is home...he works quite a bit so it's hit and miss. Our Sunday tradition after church is to go out for lunch...we're usually WAAAY too hungry to wait for me to cook something. And the favorite part for dh and me is family nap! The kids don't care for it but there is something SO relaxing about taking a refreshing nap on Sunday afternoon-- and NOW I know why MY parents loved it so much when we were little! LOL

God bless you,

I'm really trying to grow in my walk with the Lord. I thought maybe you could offer some insight. I have often pondered the issue of work on the Sabbath and I have this question: where do you draw the line on working on the Sabbath? For example you said you don't do household chores on Sunday but you go grocery shopping. Isn't grocery shopping a chore? Also, what about the issue of causing others to work on the Sabbath by shopping, going to restaurants, etc.? I just don't know how strict the interpretation should be or if I'm interpretting correctly.

I'm sorry that I was judgmental in my comments above. I do struggle with this issue but I should not have "attacked" your decisions. It takes guts to open your home and life to others through a blog and I was not considerate of your feelings. I am sorry.
