Sunday

What is Sunday??? It is the Day of the Sun, the first day of the week, derived from Egyptian astrology. It is the day between Saturday and Monday. In Christian tradition it is the Sabbath's Day and in many it is the Lord's day!!!

So, what is it, is it the first day of the week, or the last day of the week? I always wondered about that!!! That is a very good question!!! According to international standards ISO, Sunday is the seventh and last day of the week. In Hebrew and Islamic calendars, Sunday is the first day of the week!!!

There is soooo much material about Sunday that is too complicated to absorb in such a short period of time that I am not even going to attempt to write its origin nor its history!! Chicken!!!! You bet!!! Maybe some other time!!!

All I know is that for many Christians, Sunday is a day set aside for worship of God due to the belief that Christ's resurrection was on a Sunday!!! And many important holydays are on Sunday, like Easter Sunday and Palm Sunday. It is a day to abstain from work as much as possible. What are you talking about that??? Nowadays, it seems that for many people, Sunday is just another day of work, not only to doctors and nurses but to many workers in various fields!!!! Gone are those days that people work only on Mondays to Frdays!!! Nowadays, the weekends are a part of a workweek, and people no longer get paid overtime for it!!!! Am I right or not??? Comments, anyone????

What do people do if they have to go to work on a Sunday??? Go to church on Saturday night or Sunday early morning or early night!!!Hmmm... that is easily said than done!!! Well, if there is a will, there is a way!!!! I rest my case!!!! If you cannot go to a church physically, there is always a service on television, which I have heard will soon be a thing of the past!!! I hope not, because when I got sick, I have been turning on the television set for the mass!!! It was really nice!!!! Heaven forbids that they delete this program!!! It will be disastrous for the homebound people!!!!

What do we do now on a Sunday??? Go to church, and enjoy the day!!!! It is a rest day to appreciate everything that God has given to each and everyone of us!!!! We should be very thankful!!!! Come on, relax and enjoy the beauty of everything that is around us!!! Life is short and we cannot afford not to be happy and enjoy life to the fullest!!!! Take a stroll in the woods with someone, have a picnic which might be the last this year since it is getting colder, or go to a cider mill!!!! Ooooohhhh, that is yummy!!! Apple picking, cider and fresh made donuts??? What more can you ask for???

Come on, getup and enjoy this day!!!! May God bless us all!!!!
