Our dilemma this week is in response to a topic we explored last week on the Sabbath, or taking a break from work every seven days.

Heidi called us and said she has two young children, one of whom is autistic.

She works around the clock between Monday and Friday to care for her children.

They’ll often go to bed at 9pm, leaving her with a one hour gap to catch up with her husband and do admin tasks associated with her son’s life, before going to bed herself.

During the week she takes her son Liam to therapy, liaises with teachers and organises her son’s every movement.

When she does have time off on a Wednesday she does the shopping and cleaning and goes to the gym. She says she could give this up, but she doesn’t want to live in squalor.

On the weekend her husband cares for the two children, while she goes out to work - to help pay for the $25,000 that’s needed for her son’s therapy treatment.

Heidi wants to know how keeping the sabbath could ever be possible with the demands of her week.

She says she knows God doesn’t give you things in life that you can’t deal with – but she would like her prayer life to more than cries of help.

How do you fit everything in, when there’s only 24 hours in a day?
