Sunday

My favourite day of the week. The day of rest. The day of refreshment. The day I hear Don Stubbs sing trashy girl pop in a tank top at the Troyers house as he puts way to much cream and sugar in his coffee. (this is actually happening now).

It is a day that God set apart. Some scholars debate that God did not rest on the 7th day, but He ceased from creating. If God ceased, or rested, wouldn't you think it is important that we do? No. Rephrase that. Isn't it necessary that we do?

This day is a necessity for me. After 6 days of going 100 miles an hour and trying to accomplish as much as I can, I need a day where I can just sit, drink the company of people I love, and enjoy the beauty of rest and leisure. This is the day where I cease from thinking about tomorrow and what the week will bring.

If you do not have a day of Sabbath (it does not need to be Sunday), you need one. God chose to rest. And we need to as well.

So today, enjoy the people you love, drink the company, go for a walk, smell the flowers, and thank your Lord for a new day of life. And don't even think about tomorrow. Because it may not come.

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about it self. Each day has enough trouble on its own. But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well"

Matthew 6

enjoy the beauty of today,
