Sundays are an incredible day of the week. I love them. One disclosure though. Sundays used to be the worse day of the week when I had 5 small children at home. I felt like I spent the day refereeing quarrels, hurrying to get everyone at least presentable for church, finishing up church lessons because I had been at kid's ballgames or activities on Saturday, coming up with ideas to keep children entertained and happy since we had a "No Friends" rule on Sunday, feeding hungry children and husband over and over. By night I was exhausted and thrilled I didn't have to do it again for 7 more days. (Obviously I was missing the spirit of the day)
NOW. Teenager sleeps in, husband has early morning meetings, and I get to spend the morning in bed--Not in bed sleeping, but in bed lounging and reading uplifting and spiritual books and articles. This may be my favorite thing to do. I love to read in bed, I love to read gospel ideas and doctrine. I love peace and quiet. AND the best thing is---I don't have to feel GUILTY about it. I'm supposed to be doing it. Part of Sabbath Day observance is studying scriptures and related materials!!!! YES. What a wonderful day.
