First Day of the Week

Today is Sunday, the first day of the week.  For me, Sundays are usually a six o'clock morning, although it wasn't this morning, today was a lot closer to seven.  With the new short do, a wetting of the hair or, better yet, a shower is usually a must. Due to the lateness of the getting up this morning it was a taming of the hair more so than control of it :) I was up earlier because Caleb was asking to watch a show at 5:35am. Why you might ask, well it isn't a school day.  The boy needs a lot of coaxing on those days to make it for 6:30, not Saturday and Sunday.  Enough said.
Needless to say, I fell back asleep.  So I was a little rushed but made it to church set up for 8:09am, a few minutes behind but no big deal.  Spending my morning in the house of God, listening to Pastor and friend John,  I enjoy Sundays to no end.  Can you say PEOPLE! (or my PEEPS!) Had friends over for a turkey lunch, and a different set of friends later on in the afternoon for Pillsbury chocolate chunk cookies and some games.  Just EXCELLENT company from the early am until late night.  Even now as I type, my hubby and a terrific friend are visiting.
People are so essential to me.  People, in general, fascinate me, but friends and family are priceless in my book.  In God's book too, for that matter.  I know I fall short(who doesn't) in some areas, but relationships are at the top of my list in importance.  I could see you only once a year but I do not love you any less than the ones I see everyday.  I might not get the opportunity to connect with some as much as others but you are all precious to my heart.
Sundays remind me that this is a relational world.  That God designed it as such so that we need each other to succeed in life.  I am not an island; neither are you, regardless of how you perceive yourself.  Thanks for being part of my life, I need you ;-)
