As I prepare for this Sunday, the schedule is full.
I’ve become a one, or possibly two, item person in my retirement. That means that putting one thing on the schedule per day is a sign that I am still alive and well. The other serendipities of the day are a blessing sent from God. And I have many more serendipities than I have scheduled items.
Today is an exception – my scheduled items are crammed full. I begin with a Sunday School class I attend, a worship service I participate in. Then I will take a quick lunch. The next item is an Easter choir concert in which I will sing. Then to a quick supper with the choir. Then an hour drive down the road for another Easter choir concert in which I will sing. Then a quick meet and greet and off for an hour’s ride home.
I am not impressed with full schedules.
I am impressed with opportunities to see God. And opportunities to speak about God and to God. And to serve God. That is a “rest” that puts my trust in the right place and my activity in perspective.
Today should be one of those days. A true Sabbath to God’s credit and my humble opportunity to serve God.
Now that’s what I call a Sunday!
