Saturday Writing///19/20/18..."SUNDAY"

Good Morning,

Today the writing is about the importance of Sundays in our weekly days and how we spend our time during the week. Carol wrote, "It (Sunday) provides an oasis in the desert of our weekly wanderings.  It is a time when we can thank and praise God for all of His blessings of the week."

Let's enter His gates with thanksgiving and praise Him this week and every week on Sunday!

Today's Devotional 

"SUNDAY"

 Written by 

Carol Steficek

"Enter His gates with thanksgiving 
and His courts with praise; 

give thanks to Him 
and praise His name." 

Psalm 100:4

Growing up with the church as my second home, gives me many pleasant memories.  Mother raised me to know and come to love the Lord by taking me to church to become active as she was  -- she just didn't drop me off.  

Sundays should be important to us if God is important to us.  This is a time when we take our week to God.  We receive forgiveness for our sins and failures, strength for the coming week, comfort for our sorrows, and receive His grace and unconditional love.  Sunday is also a time for fellowship with other believers.  

It provides an oasis in the desert of our weekly wanderings.  It is a time when we can thank and praise God for all of His blessings of the week.  Many places in the Bible it was written not to neglect fellowship and worship.

Sunday should be the central focus 

of the week for each of us.

"ENTER HIS GATES"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...may you be able to feel and understand, as all God’s children should, how long, how wide, how deep, and how high his love really is; and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it. And so at last you will 

be filled up with God himself.

Ephesians 3:18-19

_________

Teach Your Children

You who are on the road

Must have a code that you can live by

And so become yourself

Because the past is just a good-bye.

Teach your children well,

Their father's hell did slowly go by,

And feed them on your dreams

The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why,
if they told you, you will cry,

So just look at them and sigh

And know they love you.
