Sabbath musings

What I love about Sunday:
--Being on the 1-4 schedule so I can have the morning--my freshest time mentally and spiritually--to prepare for worship and catching up on high priest group business
--Greeting friends at church and getting a small glimpse of what the celestial kingdom may be like
--Sitting next to Melba and knowing that the greatest joy in my life is right beside me
--Sharing the pew with Diane, Sean and William--nice to have family with us
--Partaking of the emblems of Christ's atonement--and reminding myself that had I been the only person in the world He would still have sacrificed Himself just for me
--Watching 93 year old Margaret Hannan conduct the congregational hymns--a calling she's had for 50 years; I'm convinced that when Lady Margaret (as I call her, to her great delight) passes away it will be on an upbeat during the fourth verse of "Come, Come Ye Saints"
--Seeing parents and children coming to worship together complete with quiet books, hot wheels, Cheerios, and coloring books.
--Lessons so well prepared and prayerfully given that I weep with the Spirit

What I don't like about Sunday:
--Noisy, out of control kids
--Noisy, out of control parents
--Uncomfortable pews
--Bone breaking hand shakes
--Prelude music that draws attention to the organist and not the Lord
--Teachers who never answer my question: "So what?"

Hope you all have a wonderful, peaceful, spirit-filled Sabbath.
