Sunday, Make It Special 1/15?2023

 Good Morning, 

My mug was just filled with Door County Chocolate Cherry Coffee and I cam see steam rising from it. I know now that it is time to write. 

This is the day the Lord has made for us. I recall back when my siblings and I would look forward to Sundays as kids. Sundays were a day when Mom or Dad would make a dinner that was just a little more special. If at all possible, if you were able, you made it to the family table. Summers would find the meat grilled and in the winter we had more Italian food or Mom's pot roast. Dad could giver her a good run for her money in the roast arena. This of course was all done after the family went to church together. Many times our dessert was a donut purchased at church. The men at church made donuts for sale on Sundays. I can still smell them in my mind. 

Exodus 20:8,11 Remember the Sabbath day, keep it holy. 11Fir in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and on the seventh day He rested. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy. 

Sundays were special back then. They were special because they were observed that way. I think that is one tradition that should remain. After all, God made Sundays to be just that. Special!

Food for thought. I added a recipe to the bottom of the blog today! Enjoy
