What I love about Sunday

Driving home a few minutes ago this song was playing on the radio and it made me think about my list of what I love about Sunday.

• Sleeping in.
• Waking up, and then sleeping in some more.
• Waking up again and staying in my warm, comfy bed to read a book.
• Finally dragging my lazy carcass out of bed, dressing up a bit more than a normal day - or dressing down more than a normal day depending on how I'm feeling.
• Spending time with my sisters just chilling out.
• Driving to church and anticipating the service.
• Going to church.
• Getting welcomed at the door by friendly people that I like.
• Our AWESOME worship teams - seriously, they are fantastic.
• Worship.
• Seeing my friends.
• Sitting with Tiersa at church again, just like in the old days. (I'm SO thankful for her furlough)
• Learning new things from my 'friend' the DUDE (aka PH, aka Pastor Harry', Fields the Genius or my awesome friend DaveM. I worked closely with those men for 5 years and I love them and I miss seeing them during the week. It blesses my heart to talk and see them each Sunday)
• Chilling after church and talking with people. Talking about stuff, or the sermon, or books, or funny things.
• Getting a hug from my dad.
• Seeing and talking with my old Youth kids.
• The occasional after-church lunch outing with friends (I loved that more in Ontario where we had Church Chicken aka Swiss Chalet)
• Having a long Sunday afternoon nap.
• Reading.
• E-mailing, blogging, texting, writing letters.
• A lazy afternoon and evening at home.

LOVE it.
Sunday as a day of rest was ingrained in me from a young age, and it is a habit that I have kept for 29 years. I crave it, need it, love it.
