This one was particularly timely as just yesterday, I spent nearly an hour just preparing our family's Sunday meal. I botched a new recipe I was trying, got frustrated and huffed to my husband that this was for the birds. It was actually perfectly edible and I just needed to be less vain about the presentation :) We young moms with young families welcome lots of nuggets of advice on how to make Sundays run smoothly, from wake-up to sunset. We do well to honor God first and foremost in each tiny activity, although, easier said than done sometimes, thanks to our nature.

I oftentimes want to just come home and spend time with my family because it will require less food to make and we can just "rest". It is only when I stray from my selfishness and invite others to fellowship with us on the Lord's Day that I truly rest as He has commanded us. I've even begun to like it when my husband tells me that he invited people over just as we are heading home from church. No time for thinking about what to eat, I just need to do it! Thank you again for your simple reminder of how we can honor the Lord in preparing for the Sabbath. Thank you for this reminder.
