The whole week goes better for the entire family when Sunday isn't so hectic.Kristen Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09780968814722069390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-13141901483443416332017-02-06T04:44:38.740+10:002017-02-06T04:44:38.740+10:00I look forward to my Sabbath day every week!

I attend church all morning, write notes to friends, do indexing and genealogy, sometimes even take a nap! I don't spend money, make money, do sewing or stitching, watch football games, or other distracting things. I keep beautiful music - classical or Mormon Tabernacle Choir - on in the background, and generally try to keep my life on the uplifted level for the day, to stock up for the week ahead. A picnic with your DH sounds delightful, enjoying some beautiful spot the Lord created. I think it makes a huge difference in how the rest of the week goes, and yes, I'm always ready to do it all again another Sunday! I don't know what I'd do without that spiritual storage time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-34347976110842480542017-02-05T23:48:32.931+10:002017-02-05T23:48:32.931+10:00Lately I've been honestly wishing I had an 8th...Lately I've been honestly wishing I had an 8th day every week so I could catch up- I think I needed to read your message, Jenny, as a reminder. I run like a crazy person and then wonder why I feel so drained.<br /><br />I think this lesson will take a lifetime to learn... Thanks. :)psvnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-39072859463013658002017-02-05T18:41:55.052+10:002017-02-05T18:41:55.052+10:00I rarely am allowed to rest on Sunday.

Hopefully bit by bit our Sunday's will quieten. God bless you and your Sundays.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283293507101152512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-62711837696052881662017-02-05T17:48:57.628+10:002017-02-05T17:48:57.628+10:00Beautiful post Jenny and I do try to keep the Sabb...Beautiful post Jenny and I do try to keep the Sabbath as a day of family and rest even though I am now retired.
