A Day of Rest

Show the children the flashlight. Turn it on and ask them what makes it work (batteries). Ask them what would happen if you left the flashlight on for a very long time (the batteries would go dead and it would no longer work). Explain that if the batteries are recharged on a regular basis, then it will continue to work for a long time.
 

People also need to be recharged, both physically and spiritually, to continue to work well. Our spiritual battery recharger is a holy day called the Sabbath. If on a weekly basis we recharge our spirits, we will remain stronger through the rest of the week.
