Lovely Sunday

It truly was a lovely Sunday yesterday. It was sunny and strangly warm for April here in our woods. After church, my dear husband and I puttered in our garden side by side, cleaning up for spring. There's still snow in some shady areas, but we worked around it. Someone up the road was having a BBQ and the smell put me in the mood for hotdogs and hamburgers. Children sped by on bicycles, getting the winter kinks out and enjoying the day. Dogs romped and played in the sun, eager to get out into nature. Neighbors stopped by for visits, coming down on foot, on lawn tractors, or on four wheelers, all offering a smile and a chat. The smell of the dirt, the breeze blowing my dress against my legs, the spring in my husband's step....what a lovely Sunday.

I mean not to offend, but I feel bad for people who believe they are not to do any chores or work on a Sunday. I believe God intends for us to relax and my Sunday busy in the yard was relaxing! Once again, what a lovely Sunday!
