Colleen's blog has a wonderful spot where one can record Sabbath moments encountered in their life. Below is my list of some Sabbath moments I can presently think of:
1) Today I am going to spend some 'girl time' with my sixth grade daughter. I am taking her to a class at our local hospital to learn important information about babysitting. She is showing a desire to earn money occasionally and asked me if she could take this class. I am looking forward to talking with her in the car ride to and from the hospital. Maybe we can also go out for a bite to eat somewhere. This is individual attention that I will be giving to her without the added demands at home interfering in our conversation. Our Faith is a definite asset to mention in our conversation with eachother. These mother-daughter moments are cherished times for us.
2) On Friday morning I was able to attend a parent coffee at my daughter's school. Beforehand, I said five decades of the rosary in the little chapel in the school before the tabernacle. Afterwards, I had wonderful conversations with some of the mothers who also have their daughters on the swim team. My daughter was chosen to attend a prestigious swim meat at Villanova. It will be an exciting time for her. The other moms were very welcoming and I enjoyed getting to know them better. Although, I was late joining them because I was so lost in my 'Sabbath Moment' in the chapel. This is o.k. though.
3) This Sunday we will be saying our family rosary together. This is always a Sabbath Moment for me. In fact, I think it is my favorite time of the week! The rosary brings so much peace and unity to our family. I am so grateful for it. My weekend would not be complete without it. Although, occasionally busy schedules cause us to re-schedule it.
