Holy Saturday:
The Bible says we should rest.
Some call it “Sabbath.”

Luke 23:56
“The women
who had been companions
of Jesus from Galilee
followed along.
They saw the tomb where Jesus’ body was placed.
Then, they went back
to prepare burial spices and perfumes.
They rested quietly on the Sabbath as commanded.”

And the animals
Rested with the rest of us.
Obey the command!

It’s easy for cats –
That’s what they do anyway,
But what of puppies?

We’re more like puppies:
Resting’s hard for some of us.
We are trained to GO!

We must sequester;
We must feel like we are trapped
To learn to obey.

After Good Friday,
The women went home to rest –
Returning Sunday.

And we, too, must rest
On this day before Easter.
Just stop all your work!

Find peaceful rest for your soul.
Holy Saturday
Let’s follow the Lead!

Headed off to rest.
It’s a day to do nothing!
See ya tomorrow.
