Lazy Sunday morn
Sleeping in is such a joy
Still in bed at noon

For Christians it is Sunday
For Jews Saturday
The idea of
a
day
of
rest
is a beautiful one
The daily grind
beats down many
leaving them frazzled
and on edge
To refresh the soul
and make one whole
and make one's peace with creation !
Those are the hallmarks
of the Sabbath
Turn on your inner light!
It is what we must cling to
if we do not
wish
to be swept away
in the tidal wave
known as existence

It's late on Friday afternoon
The Sabbath Queen is coming soon
The sun has run her daily course
We've milked the cow and fed the horse
There's only one thing left to do
~ With candles lit, bid work adieu

So much work to be completed
Sunday laze
I am unhurried
Calm, unconcerned
I have completed one task.
Today is my day of rest.
I will honor it as such.
Honoring my Lord’s edict.
Through prayer, meditation and delightfulness.
I repose on my porch, unhurried.
A plastic bag takes off from my feet
Like a bird in flight; she is carried away
I do not rush after her, knowing what will be will be
God’s wind sends the bag into a swirl.
She is returned to my feet.
I am enjoying my lazy, peaceful Sunday.
I am in God’s hands,
the pattern of the bag
has shown me this truth.

A day of rest
Forget who’s best
And live my day
The best I know how
In every way

A quiet Sunday, with its first sun rays and shadows,
Ceasing to be such by a whirring of implements.
The tools wielded by the day of rest sideshows.
Pushers and blowers of the bible’s antithesis.
Not
To
Be
Judgmental
But
Imagine
The birds tweeting under cloudy or flaming skies;
Oaks, maples, and pines in quiescent sublimity;
And the bees buzzing, honeys stirring at sunrise.
All doors open, air out busy week, neighbors in unanimity.
Just
Imagine
The
Bee
Line
For
Church
The perfect didn’t wake up on the good side of the bed,
But they gather for Living Waters and the Bread of Life.
Down the street, in old-fashioned promenade, led
To listen to the Word of truth, praise God, let go of strife.
Gather
Like
The
Sons
Of
God
At
Dawn
Imagine, the coming week begins with Sabbath rest.
The restless wanderer sits on the porch with lemonade,
Ruminates with kith and kin, weariness addressed.
What wonders of hope and joy, conquers the world, unafraid
With
A
Quiet
Day
Of
Rest
