Don't endure Sabbath - enjoy it!
Learn about Different Cultures
Learn about different countries and their culture and history. Find out what their flag represents, their main diet, history, general lifestyle and, of course, where on the world they are. Wikipedia is a good place to find an overview of each country, and then YouTube for a visual tour. You could review one country a week. Admire the variety of life around the World, and consider the vast variety of life in the universe to explore one day.
Search for God's Desire
Earnestly search the scriptures to discover what pleases God most so you might do just that in your life. Do this for the same reason one should keep the Sabbath, that is, out of a desire to please God stemming from your love for Him and craving to please Him, and not the reverse, that is, to try and please God in an effort to have Him love you more!
Have Some Hammock Time
Nice day? If you own a hammock have some relaxing hammock time outside. Do some reading or just watch the leaves, birds and clouds in the wind. Be sure not to get sun burnt - especially if you fall asleep! Don't have a hammock, or trees to put one up? There are free standing hammocks available these days that hold more than one person. Rock on!
Read Old Journal or Diary Entries
If you've kept a diary or prayer journal over the years, have a read through them. Specifically look for how God has led and provided for you. Send Him a prayer of praise and thanks as you go.
Read Your Bible with a Study Guide
Start reading your Bible with a study guide. Help it become a regular part of your routine through the week. Choose which time will best suit your schedule and temperament: first thing in the morning, at lunch, last thing at night. Set reminders, in your diary, on your phone, tablet or computer, or change
your alarm to wake you up earlier.
This could be something you do with your family or friends.

Read Different Versions of the Bible
Read different versions of the Bible. Compare your favorite
passages, or passages you don't understand well with the different
versions.
Read Old Letters
Read any old letters or cards you may still have from years ago. Perhaps you still have some old birthday cards, postcards or love letters you received from your partner when you started your friendship?
Visit your church HQ website
Visit your church denomination's website and see what resources are offered.
Read Christian Magazines
Subscribe to Christian magazines, which you can read and then pass on to others. Christian Magazines could be specifically religious, like Signs of the Times or Creation Magazine - or could be more general magazines about animals or plants.
Read Old Bible Study Guides
Read past Bible study guides you may have missed out on studying or you really enjoyed the first time.
Pick a Random Book
Ask your church librarian for a recommendation or make a relatively random book selection and read it - even though the cover doesn't appeal to you or if a book might look very old.
Borrow Library Books
See what new books are in your church library and borrow them. Public libraries may also have a selection of books suitable for the Sabbath that you could pick up during the week - so write a note now in your diary, calendar or phone to remember to visit the library in the coming week.
Gather Article Clippings
Go through your collection of loose reading materials and cut out any feature articles or stories that inspire you or you think might be useful for future Bible studies. Catalogue them so you can keep them tidy and still find the topic again quickly.
Read the Bible in a Year
Come up with a plan to read the entire Bible in a year. If you have a plan already, spend some time reading within that plan, catching up or getting ahead of schedule. But don't just plough through it, study it as you go, and make notes of your discoveries.
Visit Your Local Church Website
Visit your local church's website and see what's on it. See what resources are available on it and also consider if it's appropriate to send your friends to if they ask about your church.
Read Church Publications
Read through the publications you picked up at church, or catch up on previous week's editions which you may not have read completely yet. Find a quiet place outside to read, or perhaps inside by a sunny window or an open fire place.
