"Just as God's shabbat completes the creation of the universe -- by demonstrating that the proper response to the gift of life is celebration and delight -- so too should our Sabbaths be the culmination of habits and days that express gratitude for and joy in the manifold blessings of God."
~Wendall Berry, forward to "Living the Sabbath"
After all of that running around, we were gasping for breath in every way. Pausing to enjoy fresh produce from our incredible farmers' market, inviting people to come to the house to share waffles and to visit, reestablishing our routines, all of these help ignite our delight and gratitude.
