love Sunday afternoons

My favorite day of the week is Sunday I am beginning to believe...that really depends if we have the opportunity to just chill out and hang out together as a family. I am sitting on one side of the couch watching my sweet baby boy be held by his daddy...watching a little cartoon...while my wonderful husband drifts in and out of a nap. It is a precious site, and one that certainly warms my heart.
So often we don't SLOW DOWN and just enjoy the day of rest we are designed to have. In this day of age, it is so hard to truly rest and not think about all the stuff around you that you could be doing to get some stuff checked off the never ending list...I mean really...the list never really goes away...that is why people like me don't even bother writing it down (which is not a good thing...just saying).
There is so much scripture I feel like we read and don't allow it to change us, or feel like it is intended for someone else and not us. That is how I justify not resting on the one day God set apart for it. It's sad actually...because His word is not for us to pick and choose but follow whole heartily and allow it to change our lives. I so often don't do this.
Well, I intended this to be longer, but we have to venture outside again before the weather does something crazy (that has been the pattern lately).

Genesis 2:2-4
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
Adam and Eve
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.
When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens-


Psalm 118:23-25

23 the LORD has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25 O LORD, save us;
O LORD, grant us success.
