I always thought of Sunday as a “day of rest“…
Times have changed…
and Sunday has become as much a part of the work week as Monday…
Stores, business, restaurants, recreational areas, etc. …
are open pretty much 24 hours a day…
I also have found that with retirement…
Sunday is like most days that I have…
I actually can rest on any of the days of the week…
Stay in bed if I want…
Eat a late breakfast…
Read …
Watch TV…
Lay on the couch…
I don’t know if we can get this pattern we have started…
back in gear…
Things have changed so fast…
that even Sunday is just another day in people’s eyes…
I have to say… I think the Lord had it right…
Giving us Sunday for a “day of rest”…
a time to visit Him in a church setting…
a time to have dinner with loved ones…
a time to kick off our shoes and just sit and relax…
a time to clear our minds…
a time to actually be with our kids/families/friends…
and to have an actual conversation…
I’m thankful for Sundays!
and I hope to use them in the future the way the Lord intended!
… that has remained with me for days… Do you ever wonder where things you say or do come from?… I was listing things about myself 
… Some things from my childhood days 
… some things from my early years of marriage 
and some about me right now 
…
…
…and have spoken of before…
to accept Him and I never looked back… That is not to say I haven’t done things I’ve shouldn’t…said things I’ve shouldn’t…acted in ways I shouldn’t…But, I always knew I needed to return to my Savior, and then things would be alright… No, believe it or not I’m not perfect 
…I’m not wise 
…I’m not the best 
…I’m not outstanding… I’m just a woman who is living this life that was given her 63 years ago… I was blessed and shown mercy 
in that God knew me before I was born… at my conception… when I was young 
and now that I’m getting older 
… He knew I would need Him… so He came into my life… Isn’t that the most amazing thing!… It just makes me smile to myself 
… and gives me a feeling of love 
in my heart like no other thing could give…
