President Kimball taught how we might observe the Sabbath: “The Sabbath is a day:
- on which to take inventory—to analyze our weaknesses,
- to confess our sins to our associates and our Lord.
- on which to fast in ‘sackcloth and ashes.’
- on which to read good books, a day to contemplate and ponder, …
- to study the scriptures and to prepare sermons,
- to nap and rest and relax,
- to visit the sick,
- to preach the gospel,
- to proselyte,
- to visit quietly with the family and get acquainted with our children,
- for proper courting, a day to do good,
- to drink at the fountain of knowledge
- of instruction,
- to seek forgiveness of our sins,
- for the enrichment of our spirit and our soul,
- to restore us to our spiritual stature,
- to partake of the emblems of his sacrifice and atonement,
- to contemplate the glories of the gospel and of the eternal realms,
- to climb high on the upward path toward our Heavenly Father”
(Teachings, 216).
