The blessings of the Seventh day Sabbath

It's sabbath morning again! I have had a really terrible week and I'm really thankful for the Sabbath day. This week was terribly challenging: problems with my health, spouse, financial but not the kids thank God. So it's with a grateful heart that I spend this sabbath day. I can and have put aside all these problems/ challenges for one whole day. Imagine that- a problem free day! An entire day devoted to God. The weekly sabbath day has been a real blessing to me and my family for many years. It is like a soothing shower of rain after a drought. The sabbath offers us a chance to recharge ourselves after a week of challenges, trials, downfalls and triumphs. It prepares one to be ready for the challenges of the coming week which as usual will be filled with lots of temptations and stress etc. So come on and rest awhile in God's appointed day of rest the seventh day sabbath. You will be glad you did! Be blessed!

Is it hard to be a Christian?

I have often pondered this question... Is it hard to be a Christian? Jesus states that His burden is easy and His yoke is light. This sounds like it easy to be a Christian. But it is not easy for some people. At times I feel quite despondent over personal issues in my life at present. It's quite difficult being a Christian in a home of non Christians. There are moments when I feel like giving up but at those times I remember the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made for me on the cross. I think it can be a challenge given one's circumstances but it is worth every sacrifice, insult or humiliation one has to face. God allows trials to make us better people and for us to be more like Christ. I now pray for God to help me through each day. So being a Christian can be difficult at times but God is still in control of everything. This gives me the assurance I need at those times I feel like giving up. So don't give up, God will see you through it all. Be blessed.
