An Old Fashioned Sunday!

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3

Sunday was a time for worship, family and quiet activities. Church was the priority. A special time to worship God. Almost everyone went to church.

No stores were open, it was a rare occasion when anyone went out to a restaurant to eat as most of them were closed.

No Sunday sports. No parties, and activities. It was a time when family got together. Usually a big dinner at home. Fellowship around the table where the children had opportunity to talk to parents about their experiences.

Then maybe a nap, board games, reading or quiet activity. Boring you might think. No. A time to put things into the proper order. A day of peacefulness.

In today’s society we are too busy. Church for many is not important. Parents run to do errands. Children have outside activities or the go to their room to get on social media.

We will never go back to those “old fashioned” Sundays, but let us take time for some of the things that made them special.

Worship the Lord first. Take time with your family. Put aside the busyness of work and pressure that causes stress. Make Sunday a day for memories with your family.

Have a blessed and peaceful day.
