I have been on my Christian journey for over 65 years. All that time I have been walking with a wonderful companion. His name is Jesus.
He had walked with me when troubles have come.
Death of not one but two beloved sons. More sorrow. Loss of husband, family and friends.
Jesus has walked with me through the joys in my life, success in ministry, seeing my children become wonderful adults. Births of many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Travel all over the USA and even other countries. Jesus has been with me every step of this journey of life. He has been my comfort and guide. My everything.
My prayer is that you are walking with Him and He is your companion also.
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.
Are you waiting for something? Children wait for their birthday or Christmas and it seems like forever for that day to come. Adults are not much different. A young person may be waiting for their wedding day. Will it ever get here? A promotion at work, or a new house may be what a mature person may be waiting for. An older person might be waiting for a phone call from a child or grandchild, or something more serious like the results from a medical procedure. All these things can be stressful at any age, but the Bible tells us to wait on the Lord. He will strengthen our hearts. What a precious promise. Whatever you are wanting for, put your trust in the Lord. His timing is always perfect.
