What's in a week?

My family has been taking quite a bit of joy in "discovering" the sabbath.  We are beginning to understand what Christ meant when He said that the sabbath was made for man.  And, I must say, I am delighted.

Here is a clip from an article we ran across online that captured my imagination.
"The secret of sabbath time is to build into every seven days a rhythm that nourishes wholeness.  We are invited to live life for one week, rather than by days or epochs.  Rather than forestalling to the future this weeks acts of love, prayer, play, exercise, intimacy, rest or obedience, we ensure by sabbath time that all we need for wholeness occurs during these seven days."
The whole article can be found  here.
