"Anybody can observe the Sabbath, but making it holy surely takes the rest of the week"

This quote by Alice Walker speaks to the value of living a life of holiness and respect for the Sabbath. It recommends that merely observing the Sabbath is insufficient; to really make it holy, one need to live a life of holiness and respect throughout the week. This implies living a life of stability, generosity, and regard for oneself and others. It implies living a life of faith and commitment to God, and living in accordance with His will. It implies living a life of service to others and bearing in mind our actions and words. In other words, it means living a life of holiness and respect every day of the week, not simply on the Sabbath.
