Shabbat in our Home

Yes, it is preparation day and I'm sitting down at the computer enjoying the smells emanating from the kitchen, while enjoying a "cuppa joe"!! I don't have a camera, but let me do my best to describe my kitchen today...
In the toaster oven, you will find a chicken cooking on the rotisserie. In the oven, is the honey oatmeal challah bread. On the counter is a fresh brew of kombucha tea as well as water kefir and a couple trays of sprouts. Oh I feel like such a little healthy homemaker today...lol
I will start making the marinated veggies in a little bit and get the yams and potatoes cooking.
The Tassimo is freshly descaled and clean, my laundry is caught up, just a few loads to put away. Still need to clean the bathrooms and do a quick tidy up of the living room and then we'll be ready to enjoy the Sabbath. That special day that Yah set-apart for us.
He shows us in Creation that the 7th day is to be for rest. Ex 20:⁸ “Remember the day, Shabbat, to set it apart for God. ⁹ You have six days to labor and do all your work, ¹⁰ but the seventh day is a Shabbat for Adonai your God. On it, you are not to do any kind of work — not you, your son or your daughter, not your male or female slave, not your livestock, and not the foreigner staying with you inside the gates to your property. ¹¹ For in six days, Adonai made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them; but on the seventh day he rested. This is why Adonai blessed the day, Shabbat, and separated it for himself."

Who am I to argue with Him!! lol This is my favorite of the 10 Commandments!!  I will set my table this evening with my fine china and get out the wine goblets for our grape juice, we will dress up as we prepare to enjoy this day called Shabbat. It is a day where Yah meets with us, and He is the most special guest we can possibly have in our home.  Now that is not to say that He is not present the rest of the week, but we honor Him especially on His Shabbat. He sanctified us with His commandments and commands His children to remember Shabbat!! So remember it we shall!!! 
Shabbat starts at sundown Friday evening and lasts until Saturday at sundown or when you can see some stars.  Well, I better finish up my preparations since it will soon be sundown!!

Shabbat Shalom
