Sunday Sentiments
I used to use Sundays for catching up on my sleep, (of course, the days that you can sleep late, you never want to). That was “back in the day” when I had to work for a living. Now I let my husband work for my living, and I’m proud to let him do it.
I still can’t sleep late, any day of the week. I am awake by 6 a.m. at the latest (if I can ignore the rooster crowing outside and the dog inside that wants to go out by 5 a.m.) I had turned my back on going to church, there was so much else I wanted to do with my time. But recently I decided that as my years draw me closer to the time I’ll be meeting the one who put me here, (the space ship is due to arrive in 2050) I should perhaps go back to church for a little refresher course.
All joking aside, I was reminded today of the following: “What if God woke up one morning and decided that He didn’t feel like blessing us today? What if He decided to stop leading us tomorrow because we don’t follow Him very well anyhow?
What if we never saw another flower bloom because God was tired of us grumbling when He sends the rain? What if the door of the church was locked today because we didn’t stand up for our religious freedom yesterday?
What if God took away His word, because we weren’t listening? What if God stopped loving us because we didn’t love others?
What if God answered our prayers, the way we answer his call to serve him?
What if we suddenly decided it was time to get this country right with God and back on the goals we set when our forefathers wrote “One nation, under GOD, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all?”
God is disappearing from our lives, people, and once he’s gone - he’s not coming back until it’s all over!
