Step Three to Sabbath Simplicity: Value relationships over productivity.
“Our hurried lifestyle isolates us. How many times have you promised to connect with a friend, but you just don’t have time? If you’re a parent, do you have any time in your week where you can just enjoy your children?
If we make time for rest in our lives, it enables us to reconnect with those we love. Your to-do list can wait, but relationships suffer if they are neglected. A Sabbath Simplicity life includes taking one day out of your week to put aside your tasks and focus on spiritual and relational growth.
Take a Sabbath day. Spend time with people you care about and reconnect with your faith, friends, and family.”
