Anne’s Coffee Break | Shabbat Shalom

Published: Sat, 03/11/23

This email makes your coffee taste better when your images are turned on. :-)

Blessings on you from the Elliott family! Thank you for subscribing, and we hope you enjoy today’s newsletter.

It is commanded for us to set apart (or make "holy") the Sabbath, and an often neglected way to do that is to assemble with other believers. Learning to get along, to love, and to minister is a way to rest our souls, even though that's not what our flesh likes to tell us.

My goal for this newsletter is to bring a little bit of Scripture, a sprinkle of encouragement, and a dash of hope to your day. I love a good cup of coffee (brewed like this), but if some other drink is more your style, I'm sure that will work. The point is for you to take a break from crazy living, just long enough for a sip of joy.

How We Do Sabbath (Part 2)

By Anne Elliott, February 6, 2015, AnneElliott.com

Several friends have asked me to tell about what a normal Sabbath is like in our home, so I am doing that in two parts. Last time I shared what we do on Fridays, so now let’s talk about what we do on Saturdays.

The most basic principle of Sabbath is that we are to rest. However, in our family, we have decided that there is more to rest than just sleeping in a little later, not cooking, and avoiding working our jobs.

A very important aspect of Sabbath is making it “a day of sacred assembly.” In fact, we have found that meeting with other believers once a week is extremely important to feeling rested by the end of Sabbath. Read More

A New Commandment

By Anne Elliott, April 5, 2014, AnneElliott.com

Did Jesus bring new commandments that were different from the ones His Father taught?

Yeshua was speaking to his disciples when He said these famous words:

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:34-35).

Why did Yeshua say this was a “new” command, when the Torah taught the same thing? Read More

Best Challah Bread Recipe

By Anne Elliott, May 5, 2019, TorahHome.com

After making challah for 12 years to be eaten on Sabbath, we have decided that this is the most delicious recipe. It yields 3 loaves. If you can’t eat this much, it’s always wonderful to give a loaf away to a neighbor or friend, and you can make french-toast casserole with the 3rd loaf, to be eaten on Sunday morning.

Thank you for taking time to sip coffee with me. I hope your day is restful and filled with His precious Word.

Shalom,

~Anne Elliott
