Choosing to work with hands in the earth
The peace, the sun, the dirt under my nails
Paying homage to God with all that I’m worth
With prayers that my undertakings will not fail
.
Rest…I know not how regardless of the day
Once commanded so long ago, this I know
No disrespect do I mean, this is just my way
Through my labors this is how I show
.
Good for both the body and eternal soul
I offer my sweat and blood in your honor
All this that I sacrifice shall never take its toll
Doing nothing but good, my faults I shall conquer
.
Surrounded by God through all we endeavor
For this world is His temple, would He abandon us, I think never.

Joseph Prince (Singapore’s New Creation Church) says that Rest (as in the Sabbath) is not just lazing around–but honoring God and practicing His Presence in whatever we do. Lovely sonnet, Dom.
Thank you so much, I would agree with that although I may have taken working on the Sabbath to a whole new level. :)
Oh well, I guess it all works out!
