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.

You feel you are a special guest
Welcome to the Palace of the Lord
The service there - The King's Best

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

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

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

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