When I first started my website - liteandjoy.com, George and I decided that we would NOT do any computer work on the Sabbath day. Which meant that I would NOT write any posts for my products. Well, today I was thinking about different ways of improving my website and my business blog, liteandjoyblog.com. I thought that I could write the post on Saturday and program my computer to post it automatically on Sunday. That way I wouldn't be working on Sunday but the post would appear on its own. Brilliant huh! For those who may not be aware, it's the daily posts on the blog that catch the attention of the search engines so they can put your website and products higher up on the lists on Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Ask.com, etc. The higher you rank on their lists, the more traffic you receive on your site, and eventually you get more business.
Well, I am grateful for the promptings of the Spirit, because the thought immediately came to me that that would give the appearance, to the entire world, that I was working on Sunday. It was an interesting thought. Anyone, anywhere in the world can pull up my site and look at the date on it and believe that I have no regard for the Sabbath day as far as business and selling to get rich on the almighty dollar.
I very quickly decided that it isn't important to get a post out on the Sabbath day. The Sabbath day is the Lord's day, a day to read, study, serve him by serving others, and of course, resting from the constant grind of everyday living. I have heard many many times in my life that it is the little things that make the biggest difference. So this is one of those little things that I choose to do to honor my Heavenly Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ, who sacrificed ALL to give me the opportunity to choose the right, and hopefully come back to live with Him again.
