Deuteronomy 5:12–15 NLT   “Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the Lord your God has commanded you. You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God. On that day no one in your household may do any work. This includes … your male and female servants, your oxen and donkeys and other livestock, and any foreigners living among you….  Remember that you were once slaves in Egypt, but the Lord your God brought you out with his strong hand and powerful arm. That is why the Lord your God has commanded you to rest on the Sabbath day.

“Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. Sabbath time is set apart for remembering the holiness of life.  Time is the key, time and attention. If we grab a sandwich as we run out the door, this is eating. If we take a small crust of bread and a sip of wine in a mindful gathering of other believers, this is a sacrament. it is neither the food nor the eating, but the time and the mindfulness that reveals to us what is holy.” Sabbath by Wayne Mueller P. 196
