Not watching tv, playing sports, cooking or eating out , internet, work of any kind.
This was fairly common in some denominations decades ago.

Do you practice “keeping the Lord’s day holy” ?
In recent years, my understanding of keeping the Lord’s Day holy has evolved. Growing up, I adhered to strict traditions that emphasized abstaining from various activities, but now I find joy in blending preparation and reflection. Leading up to the Lord’s Day, I do a cleanse by making natural fruit and veggie smoothies to nourish my body.
On the day itself, I engage in self-reflection journaling and personal Bible study, drawing inspiration from verses like (Exodus 20:8-10), which calls us to remember the Sabbath. This practice helps center my thoughts and deepen my relationship with God.
One of my favorite ways to celebrate the Sabbath is by spending time in my local park, immersing myself in the beauty of nature. As I walk among the trees and listen to the birds, I’m reminded of (Matthew 6:26), highlighting God’s care for His creation.
This connection to the world around me enriches my spirit and allows me to appreciate the blessings in my life, making the Lord’s Day a truly fulfilling time of rest and reflection.
