Preparing for the Sabbath

Last year our church leaders asked us to focus on keeping the Sabbath day holy, so one of the things I worked on was preparing for the Sabbath on Saturday.

Little things like packing my church bag, doing as much meal preparation as possible, and setting the table for Sunday dinner, sets the tone for our Sunday.  I also get up before the kids and get myself ready so I can focus on getting them ready and not feel so rushed.

All the ingredients for me and Gracie to throw a Peanut Butter Cup Cake together after church.

These are just little things but they help me turn my focus to Christ and better honor him on his day.  

I love that my 7 year old Janie knows how to set a table :)
