Most people dread Sunday’s it’s the end of the weekend and most of are preparing for the week ahead. I can certainly say that in the past I have been guilty of dreading the day. As time has gone on, I have found the first day of the week to be incredibly fulfilling.
I usually start everyday with a decent breakfast after my quiet time with The Lord. On Sunday, I get a bit more adventurous as to what I am going to cook. It is a great way for me to try things I might not have time to make during the week.
Church takes center stage after exercise and shower. This is where my whole day really starts to pick up. I have met a really good community of believers that meet at a great church called Living Hope. I will say that this community has been the most inviting and warm group I have ever had the pleasure to be around. Reminded me of when I first started attending Heritage Church in Baxter, MN. They have showed me kindness and love which reminds me that most believers are inherently good people and want to see others come to Christ.
But it isn’t just worship and fellowship at church. My whole day revolves around rest and study. I am able to clear my mind, focus on Jesus and prepare for stresses of the week. I surround myself with positive people and environments which recharge and energize me.
Everyday, I glorify The Lord in all I do so I am not saying that this is my day of worship because in all things I give thanks and praise to Christ and the death he suffered for our sins. But this day, being the first day of the week allows a rejuvenation. To put behind the past and to live in the moment. The sense of peace and tranquility I get from this day makes each subsequent day that much easier to deal with.
Oh yeah, I usually can also sneak in a nap 😉
