Sunday... the Sabbath

In Genesis we are told that on the seventh day God rested from his task of creating. The day of rest, the Sabbath, has changed incredibly since I was a little girl. It was always church day followed by lunch out and afternoon visits to grandma and grandpas. We didn't shop on Sundays. Mom and Dad didn't work on Sundays. It was a family day.

I still go to church every Sunday, and yes being a minister can explain that. However while on holidays I still go to church on Sundays. For me, church is an inspiring place to go. I love the music, the message and the fellowship. And I don't know whether it's because my church is smaller but Unity of London has this church beaten by miles when it comes to welcoming people.

And here's the thing, I don't understand the idea that some people "outgrow" church. Church is a place you help grow, you don't out grow. People always have something to contribute to the spiritual growth of others and their church. We grow together. It isn't all about what you can get... it's what you can give and from that you get. It's the Universal Law, right? What goes out from you comes back to you.

So today at Unity I will smile more, greet others and be as friendly as I can be....and I bet I will see them differently, right? That's the way it works.

Pic.. I grew up in the Catholic church and visited the Vatican a few years ago. I outgrew their teachings not the church experience.
