Sabbath begins sundown Friday night and ends sun down Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>Sanj is on the piano playing a hymn, it is dark outside and suddenly I have this overwhelming feeling of homesickness for home.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure what that means, maybe yesteryear.  Maybe I miss my brother.  We spend many a Friday night worshipping, planning a worship or hanging out with friends.<\/p>\n<p>Friday nights at university were special too.  We took effort to look good, went to worship and left full of Worship.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I miss that&#8230; being full.<\/p>\n<p>There is something so peaceful about Friday nights.  Maybe it is the farewell to a busy week, the anticipation of breaking away from routine and just being.  Whether it is spent alone or with family and friends, I love Friday nights.  I think it is my favorite day.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it would be nice to just go home for a while.  I know that seems to come up often in my blog.  Guess it is a real loss I feel.  I really hope that my children will one day appreciate having home&#8230; a place you can go and just be.<\/p>\n<p>What does that mean?  It means you are, for that period of time, not wife, mother, friend&#8230; whatever role you are all the time&#8230; you can just stop and be.<\/p>\n<p>Just for a short while.  Then you go back to the real world and it is all good.  Maybe home is like going out for recess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing up we were raised in an Adventist home.
