Part of our Sabbath is spending time with God - in whatever way that feeds your soul. For each of us, worship looks a little different. For me it needs to involve silence - a time to read or journal. Walk outside or draw.
In my dining room there is a small Sabbath basket next to one of the chairs filled with items to encourage silence - a journal, a notebook, crayons, and a candle. As an introvert, I know that I need that silent time, but the truth is we all need silence to block out some of the noise in our hearts and our lives.
But our Sabbath also involves time with community. In fact, this is a big part of the Jewish celebration of Sabbath - connecting with God through community activities and communication with others.
How do you balance silence and community in your celebration of Sabbath?
