a sabbath; a vacation?

We went on vacation for 2 weeks.
Before we left, a topic had been wallowing around in my head;  the topic of Sabbath.  There are more than one, you know.  But those Sabbath's were Law.  My question was how they fit today - since Jesus.  He didn't take away . . . He perfected; He fulfilled.  So, how does that fit with the subject of the Sabbath?
I didn't get my answer immediately.  It came slowly . . . as vacation unfolded.
Vacation is like Sabbath.  However, vacation is man made; and it's about us; what we want; where we want to go; and what we want to do.
Sabbath is about Him; and about Love.  Each Sabbath was about Rest for us and about Celebration of Him in some way.  They are a Gift from Him.  He gave them to us for a purpose.
In a way, they are His expression of vacation.
Here's how:  He WANTS us to rest from work; He wants to give us a time of Joy and Celebration; He wants us to understand at the deepest level how His Love works; how all encompassing it is - how high, how deep, how wide.  It's bigger than our minds can fathom.  Only our Spirit, languishing in His Rest, can really experience a TASTE of that Love.  But when we do . . . oh, my.  Our taste is only the edge of something so all encompassing that we cannot express it.
Sabbath is beyond vacation.  It is beyond.  Loving Him so much we honor Him if we observe His Sabbaths.  Loving us so much, He makes it the perfection of Rest, Joy, Celebration. . . of Him.  He IS Sabbath.  Does this mean that it is done and over?  No, on the contrary.  It means that as we fill up in Him, we DESIRE to celebrate Him; and He completes that desire with His perfection.
We spend time trying to plan the perfect vacation.  God has already mapped it out with such precision and Love that it is an Ocean compared to our raindrop.
Find out yourself how you can celebrate Him in a way He created for you to do so.
