Sundays….

I Love Sundays..

Things are simpler on Sundays. 

Gratefulness comes easier, prayer time comes gentler,

Time in quiet thought comes sweeter.

Early morning time with God on a Sunday makes the heart of a woman long for “home”.

Early morning time with God on a Sunday makes the heart of a woman tender.

Some of my most intimate times of personal reflection have happened on an early Sunday morning…

As the house sits quiet and the breathing of my husband and children lists lightly down the stairs….

And, deep, deep in my heart I am touched in the knowing…

That I am loved      and treasured       and cared for by the gentle hands of a heavenly  Father.

That while life may strive to beat one down, God Almighty will hold one up.

That “Jesus, the tender Shepherd, hears me…”

I draw great strength on Sundays, strength which buoys me up and makes me ABLE.....

Able to live and breathe and survive..

And thrive.

Able to take in and able to let go.

Able to forgive and seek forgiveness.

Able to love and be loved.

And to reflect…

And to see things through HIS eyes and do things in HIS way.Sundays remind me of WHOSE I am….

God’s Girl.

God’s grateful girl.

God’s forgiven and precious and loved girl.

And, in the heart of God’s girl lives hope…and joy…and peace.

And, a tenderness so powerful that you could light the sky with it.

Because in Christ, all things are possible…

And all possible things which are God inspired are good.

And, all good things bring about love and compassion and joy.

And isn’t that what HE is all about?

Love…..Compassion….Joy

So, I love Sundays

And the fresh, clean hung-out-on-the-line cleanliness of God’s grace

Never is He more near my simple heart than on Sunday

“Son-day”

His day.

My gift from HIM is in my worship.

His gift to us is His Life.

Wrapped up in a blanket of white forgiveness and “bowed” with a cross…

And, all He asks in return

Is for us to “love one another as He loves us.”

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” ³⁷ Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’^{[a] 38} This is the first and greatest commandment. ³⁹ And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’^{[b] 40} All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

And, in this loving on others, of one another, we honor Him

Simple

A simple request from a much beloved Father.

Love when it is easy.

Love harder when it is not easy.

Love with our words and our actions and our deeds.

Just.

Love……..

For GOD is of LOVE…..

And, it starts today, this gift of a Sunday….

Blessings,

With Love for Him and you,
