On The Grace of Sundays

I am a big fan of Sundays.

I believe God ordained the Sabbath as a day of rest.

Now, I have had people try to convince me that Sundays are not actually meant for resting. That God, in fact, does not say that we must take a break on this day.

People, don't try to take my Sundays. I get vicious.

My logic is that God took a break after his work week. I think He meant me to take one too (plus there are those teensy ten commandments).

So, zap from these thoughts to context. I was finishing my homework today. It had not been my most productive homework session and I was annoyed, but looking forward to tomorrow, though the thought was creeping in the back of my head, "Do you deserve a break?"

Then it hit me.

My Sunday just clicked into a larger plan.

Resting on the Sabbath is a grace given to us by God. He ordained it, yet it is our choice to follow His way or our own.

And here's the kicker:

We get this grace of rest whether or not we deserve it.

BOOM! Same as the redemption plan.

So, if you'll excuse me I'm going to mass and then relax.
