Happy Sabbath.
Spring is almost done. As we begin the month of June, the last of the late spring flowers 💐 are coming into their beautiful bloom. One of those late bloomers, is the White Wisteria. The White Wisteria is a breathtaking, vigorous deciduous vine prized for its cascades of intensely fragrant, grape-like clusters of white pea-like flowers.
Despite it's white colour, that you may dismiss the as plain and simple, there is a beauty that draws you to admire it. It's beautiful fragrance envelopes the air and creates a sense of relaxation and peace.
Exodus 18:23, tells us, "If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their place in peace.”
God's Commandments are like a cluster of white Wisteria flowers, with it's simple beautiful and wonderful fragrance. God intended His Commandments to draw us into a loving ❤️ relationship with Him and a loving ❤️ relationship with our fellow man.
The Seventh-day Sabbath, brings a wonderful fragrance when we come together ❤️ in worship and adoration ❤️ of our loving Creator. There is a peace that God provides, when we obey His Commandment to keep His Seventh-day Sabbath Holy, rest and worship in Remembrance of His wonderful work of creation.
Join me this Sabbath day and we enjoy the peace that obedience brings, as we inhale the wondrous fragrance that only His Holy Seventh-day Sabbath offers.
Have a Blessed day.

Happy Sabbath.
If you read my Happy Sabbath Posters, you know, Spring is my favorite time of the year. Spring brings hope, new growth and new life. I feel so inspired by the miracle of things transforming and starting to bloom. I can not help but be thankful to a loving ❤️ Creator and Heavenly Father for His loving ❤️ Grace and Mercies.
This week's poster is of my neighbours tree 🌳 in full bloom. At the right angle, there are two evergreen 🌲 trees in the middle of the tree 🌳 in full bloom. It got me thinking 🤔 isn't that just like God's love 💕? His two Commandments are wrapped in His love 💕, just like those two evergreen🌲trees are surrounded by the tree in bloom.
Jesus illustrated that in Matthew 22:37-40, Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
Love ❤️ to God and love ❤️ to man. That is the basis of the Ten Commandments. Not legalism or works. It's LOVE ❤️! The fifth Commandment reminds us to honour our Parents. The last five Commandments are what not to do, if we want to show love to our fellow man.
The first four Commandments directly tell us, how to love God. Yes, love ❤️ God! God desires a response to the love ❤️ He has demonstrated and shown us, as Creator, Saviour, and friend. The fourth Commandment Reminds us to REMEMBER the Seventh-day Sabbath because God rested after creating the earth 🌎 in six days. By resting on the Seventh-day Sabbath, you recognize and pay tribute to God, by spending time with the one the Created you.
Join me this Sabbath as we show LOVE ❤️ to our Creator, Saviour and Friend, by Resting, Spending time, Worshipping and Recognizing Him for Who He is and What He has done. Show some love ❤️ to God today.
Have a Blessed day.
