Sundays are a relatively peaceful day for my family.
Despite the mad dash to church in the morning, the bomb that goes off steadily every Sunday in the process of getting five people ready for church (why does that happen?! It’s insane!), and then the fact that hubby usually works Sundays and there’s very little groceries left from a fantastic-food-filled week … yes, but I still love Sundays. I love raising our girls to know Jesus and to spend our Sunday mornings at church together. It’s amazing. Even if it means I spend more time between Sunday School classrooms, the nursery and the stage (for band) … it’s still so wonderful to be with my church family …
One recent random Sunday, we were all ready with plenty of time to spare … so we sat on the front porch, snacked on tea and English muffins and waited for the 10 a.m. service. Little did I realize, I was on band that day (I play piano at church and am supposed to be there for 8:15ish a.m.) and I was actually SUPER LATE …. but in the ignorant bliss of the unknown, we had a relaxing morning … (My sincerest apologies to our band leader!!!!) …
No, I don’t force Abby (hubby) to wear pink – this was his own choice! Hey. Real men wear pink. Right? Yes, right.
I don’t remember snacking before church as a little girl, but for some reason, my kids can’t go a whole church service with a little snack to tide them over right beforehand. Hence the plastic cups with fishie crackers.
We have fun at church. They have an awesome kids’ program and Lyla, for one, LOVES it … here she is pre-church … (snacking)…
…….. and post church. Note her hair.
Yes, she definitely has fun at Sunday School.
Once church is done, anything goes … swinging in your bare feet in your pretty church dress ….
Sundays. All about love and sunshine. And Jesus. It really does make all things grow.
Hope your Sunday was filled with love, too.
