Today is"church day" as I used to call Sundays when I was a toddler. As a little one the days of the week are meaningless before you are school age. But I knew something special and joyous would happen once a week when I could go to church /Sunday school. I would feel special and loved there on that day. So every morning when my mother woke me I would ask if it was church day. When she finally could say, yes, it's church day, my whole world exploded into sunshine.
Now many decades later I find joy and love in celebrating church day. As a mature adult I now know we come to worship and honor You, Lord God. We come to give back to You. I am thankful for this opportunity to commune with others in worshipping You.
So, yes, today is church day, God and I want to thank you for all the gifts I have received from You throughout these many years. How can I ever repay You for the love and kindness You have given me in my lifetime? I will try through songs honoring and praising You. I willl try through prayer and meditation. I will try through tithing back to you a portion of what you have given me. And, most of all, I will try by sharing Your love with others. Amen
