God loves us so much that he has given us the weekly gift of a day where we get to stop from our normal work. Can you guess what day it is? It is the Lord's Day, Sundays, where we get to rest, be with God's people, worship and be refreshed. God thinks this gift to us is so important that he put it in his Ten Commandments.
