I think you know that Sunday, the Sabbath Day, is special and important. We do things differently on that day. Your dad and I have taught you to act differently on that day. Sunday doesn't just offer a different set of rules, it offers a way for us to show how much we love our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I have found that when I prepare myself for the Sabbath Day, it takes all week. And if it takes all week to prepare for the Sabbath, then the Sabbath is making me a better person each day of the week.
I believe that if I want to get to a higher level of spirituality, I need to better observe the Sabbath Day. Talk to God and ask Him how you can do that. Make it a sign between you and Him that you want to show how much you love Him. In return, you will be blessed with a greater ability to withstand temptation, receive strength in difficult times, and rejoice in the beauty of life. What can you do today to make the Sabbath Day a delight?
Here are a two recent articles about the Sabbath Day from our Church leaders.
"Are You Ready for What the Sabbath Offers" by Neill F Marriot of the Young Women general presidency
"The Sabbath is a Delight" by Elder Russell M Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve
