Recently, Church leaders have placed an emphasis on better observance of the Sabbath. Local leaders here in Wisconsin encouraged us to go home and discuss ways we can better observe the Sabbath as a family.
In our family, we already tried to make the Sabbath special by not watching sporting events on Sunday. We decided to even further limit our television time on Sundays to only inspirational shows, eliminating our usual diet of shows like NCIS, The Flash, and Agents of SHIELD. We felt that this would make the Sabbath stand out even more in our minds every week. To help make this crazy goal more successful, we thought of alternate activities that would better help us remember the Savior on Sunday. Here it is:
1. Read scriptures
2. Go to Church
3. Write in your journal
4. Call grandparents
5. Take a nap
6. Write a letter
7. Read a book
8. Have friends over for dinner
9. Plan the rest of the week
10. Do service
11. Blog
12. Play a board/card game
13. Watch BYUtv
14. Home teaching/visiting teaching
15. Call a friend (yes, on the telephone)
16. Draw a picture
17. Bear your testimony
18. Take a drive
19. Listen to sacred music
20. Bake cookies
21. Write a story
22. Be creative
23. Work on family history
24. Sing hymns & Primary songs
25. Crochet
Do you have any ideas to add to our list?
