Sundays in the South

Living south of the Mason Dixon Line and in the bible belt most Sundays are spent in church, I hate to say we played hookie today.

I love the Lord and get so much peace, inspiration and uplifting from a service, but I hate to say I haven't been in a while. We got into a pattern of "Church Shopping" and just quit going, and not attending became the norm I am sad to say. We haven't found the right one, but sleeping late and spending the day being lazy hasn't helped us find it either.

No Excuses we need to find one and get plug in again.

Well this Sunday in the south its 77 degrees, with winds at 35mph, in short its a beautiful day that the Lord has made and we are glad in it. All the windows are open letting that nice steady breeze blow through the house, the grill is cranked up and is about ready for the sweet and sour chicken that will soon be placed on it, the fajita meat is marinating and that will be dinner.

We are dwelling as a family today, tv is off, chores are being done and we are being still, thanking the good Lord for this beautiful day.

You cant spend a Sunday like today in the South and not see the beauty that the Lord has made, you cannot sit outside with a glass of tea (unsweet for me!) letting the wind blow your hair, the sun on your face(...its January and we are in flip flops and capris) and not feel his presence.

Dear Lord, 

Today is awesome! Its beautiful, 77 degrees and I just want to take a moment to Thank you. Today is a gift for us this January, most of my family is dealing with 30 degree or below temps, ice and snow. What hardship do I have today? None..you have blessed us with the beauty of awesome weather. Forgive our absence from church and know that are hearts belong to you Lord. Thank  you...today is awesome. 

Amen
