Sunday Is for God

Weekdays are for school and Saturdays for having fun. But Sunday is the Lords Day. Sunday is for God.

A boy longs to play in the river on this hot summer day, but instead he has to sit quietly in a pew. His collar itches and his ties too tightwhy does the Lord care whether people get dressed up for church, anyway? But as hymns and prayers fill the room, he begins to appreciate the simple beauty of a day set aside for family and prayer. At the end of the service, he explains a prayer to his little sister by whispering, The Lord will take care of us no matter what.
