Special Sundays

"On the first day of the week... " Luke 24:1

Last Easter Sunday was such a special day. Sundays in general are special to people for a variety of reasons such as a day off, sleeping in, or how about food? (I thought of hot fudge sundaes; yummy!)

Maybe it means getting up early, rushing around, getting kids ready, going to church as usual - and looking all calm and happy when you get there.

When I was a child, Sundays meant afternoon outings with my dad such as baseball games or long walks to the park, or maybe ice cream. We didn't see much of him during the week; he went to work before I got up and came home after I went to bed. So Sundays were special.

With our kids, Sundays has been a family day. When they were little, we did simple things with them with mostly everyone sticking around the house. For years, now, we've had a hamburger cookout on Sunday at noon. Our kids and grandkids like getting together and it makes our Sundays special.

No matter how great our Sundays might be, the very best Sunday ever was the day we call Easter Sunday. That was the day Jesus came alive again, after having been dead. It was the day He first talked to people in his resurrected form.

Every day can be Easter Sunday for us as we encounter the risen Christ in our daily lives. That is truly good news!
