Good Morning,
I am sitting at my desk, sipping on a hot cup of Door County Churro Coffee, praying and gathering some thoughts.
My head is swimming with different thoughts for today and I have settled in on being thankful for Sundays. Our Heavenly Father saw fit to establish one day for our rest and for us to keep holy. This declaration of love was first mentioned in the book of Genesis in the account of the creation of the world.
Genesis 2:2-3 By the seventh day, God finished the work He had been doing, so on the seventh day He rested from all His work. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
Mark 2:27-28 And He said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath 28. Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.
God gave to us this day of rest. Many people attend church on the Sabbath. God declared the 7th day as a day of rest at which time we have some free time to draw closer to Him. God gave us some time for us to relax, spend time with our families, cook some burgers or chicken on the grill and have some extra time to refocus our walk with Him.
I can still recall walking to church with my parents and then coming home and Mom being at the stove making something just a little more special for us to eat. Sunday dinners were always just a little nicer.
If Sunday has become a little less special to you over the years, ask yourself why that is so. If you search your heart and mind for a few minutes, you will see what has taken over your holy day. I can still smell that fried chicken and mashed potatoes calling on me just like it was yesterday.
Food for thought. Have a great day and keep it holy.
Marty
