Sabbath Day Rest for Children - Teaching our Children the Commandment to Rest

Last week at my church's moms meeting we did a bible study entitled "Rest for Those He Loves."  This is a wonderful women's study found in series entitled "A Mom's Ordinary Day Bible Study Series - Managing Your Time."  The ladies and I had a wonderful time discussing things in our lives that prevents us from taking a regular Sabbath rest.  In addition, we discussed the benefits and consequences of adhering to or neglecting a Sabbath rest.  You can find this series at amazon.com at:

Also, while we were doing our bible study the children also had a study to work on.  I want to offer this study for you to do with your children.  You can download it here:

This is an excellent way to teach our children the principle of the Sabbath.  Our society is very driven.  The Sabbath belongs to God and we must teach our children to follow Godly principles.  The world will teach them that they must keep going and going to be on top, to achieve success, to get ahead.  God teaches us that we must rest and honor him and our families and he will make our six days more productive and peaceful than our 7 days could ever be.
