The Lord's Day

Granny here, down through time we have heard the term 'the Lord's day' I just got to thinking that every day is the Lord's day. He was kind enough to loan it to us but we should never forget that He can take it back any time He chooses. The days of all time belong to Him and He can share them with whomever He chooses, aren't you lucky?

What will you choose to do with your lucky day? Will you keep it to yourself? Will you share it with Him ? Will you share it with your wife, your husband, your children? What will you do? You only have twenty four hours and then it will be gone forever, you will never ever have this day back again, no other day in your lifetime will be the same as today.

A great number of humans choose Sunday as a day set aside to go to the church of their choice and give thanks to God for all His blessings which is good "but" is that the only time we give thanks, shouldn't the way we live our lives say thank you every day.

I was thinking the other day about the ten commandments and what an impact they would have on society if we done nothing but use them as the rules of our society. We would have no need for laws, policemen, jails, prisons, welfare or reform schools. We wouldn't have to lock our doors, spend lonely hours and days by ourselves, stores would have no need for guards or surveillance equipment. Children would have no need of new parents, parents would have no use for divorce, children would have their real parents forever and child abuse would have never been heard of.

As a society we think we are so intelligent but from where I'm standing we look pretty bad and after all this time since the beginning we have continually proven that we cannot make good decisions. It's true that we have managed in spite of ourselves to accomplish some amazing things but the one thing we have not been able to do is form a good society. One where our only goal is to make life better for ourselves and those around us with whom we share this world.

The reason for our failure is singular, "Me". Me manages to deter us from success in every area of society, Me seems to be the stumbling block that causes man to stumble all the way to the grave "but" if we would only look behind us and see that things can change if we would put "Me" where he or she belongs and that is at the beginning of Mercy and that is what God has extended to mankind, His unending mercy and how can we do less for each other.
 Wow! the more I think about it the more sense it makes that if we only did what we were told what a wonderful world it would be.

Granny here, just saying!
