DAY 271

  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
