Sunday Everyday of the Week!

I love Sundays. A time to tell the busy world to stop!

I need this day to re-evaluate and reconnect with my Heavenly Father and with my church family.

Ever hate getting up on Monday. Another week at work.

When I was a young middle school teacher twenty years a go, in our building was a female physical education teacher named Fran who probably had taught for 50 years. Every Friday she would come into the teachers lounge (recovery room) and say the same thing, “Thank God it's Friday. She would sprawl out on the couch looking like she was never going to get up again. Being young and wanting to have some fun, I would always go up to her and say, you know Fran, I wish it was Monday all over again. I wish we could start the week all over with the kids. The kids are great. She would look at me like I was a nut!

I really felt sorry for her. She didn't understand what true living was all about it.

I know, I try to live each day like it is Sunday. Being able to take what you longed for on Sunday and using it in the workplace each day should be our goal.

But usually I mess up. Having to deal with people, problems and situations, and the last thing on my mind is what occurred on Sunday.

Our goal should be this:

1 Peter 2:9-12

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.

Ephesians 5

Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Colossians 3

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

I want my life to reflect Jesus. I want each day to be a Sunday. For some people the only aspect of Christianity they might ever come in contact with might be you in the workplace at the store at school. We need to be positive, loving, caring people.

How has your week gone so far?
