Special Sunday

Sunday's are special.  A day for family, time to reflect, pray, be thankful.   I miss the Sunday's that we had when I was a kid.  Following church it was a home day or maybe a visiting day; stores were closed.  We usually had our main meal mid afternoon, more often then not followed by a drive through the country, home to Million Dollar Movie and coloring.  I would sprawl out on the living room floor with my crayolas and coloring book.  Seems like it was a more quiet time, a simpler time, a time of refreshment.

Mass last night; this morning prayer, thanksgiving will be made, a drive through the country (and cities).  We will get to spend a few hours with our soldier boy before the next leg of his journey.  He will remain state side for yet another month.  Yes, its a special Sunday, as they all are.

Special Blessings.

  5. Love the bunnies...hee hee you find the cutest outfit for the girls...Sunday, I remember them also..everything was closed, it was a quiet at home day. Life was simpler back then..I try try try to bring this back in my life as much as I can. I don't like hustle or bustle, time schedules, I think we are all on overload. What is not to love about a trip in the country? You can feel the stress fall off as you get closer to nature..blessings and prayers for you, your family & your soldier boy...God Bless and protect.
