I love Sundays

It's a good day to be alive.
I've got Sunday all free..
no appointments..
no plans..
no agenda..
no stress, no pressure..

Because this is how it's meant to be.
To set aside every human instinct to strive on, fight on, push on, get more, do more..
And just stop.. cease.. to a standstill.

God himself set the example and showed us the way of doing things best..
He rested on the seventh day.
And on top of the example came a command we are to follow..
Six days you are to work, and on the seventh, rest.

It is a demonstration of faith.
The faithless man will work seven days a week, because that makes the most human economical sense.
Why waste a good 1/7th of your days on.. not working towards your goals? Obviously the business that runs seven days a week makes more than one that opens for only six. Don't be lazy man..
You'll cover more ground if you study seven days a week.

But by choosing to rest, I'm telling the world that my trust is not in my own efforts.
My trust is in God, who is my Father, my Provider, my Shepherd.
It's because of HIM, that i can rest.
It's because of his love for me.
I know that he will supply all that I need--
Strength, Wisdom, Favour, Courage and Ability

And this is my way of loving him back.
To follow, to obey, to trust,
to observe the Sabbath
and to keep it Holy.
