That Special Day

Sue O'Donnell

“Who are those who fear the Lord? He will show them the path they should choose.”
Psalm 25 v 12 NIV
Sunday, that special day
To while away
quietly,
gently,
easily.
For in this day without hurry,
I am more aware of Your company, O holy Trinity.
I suppose because there is more time to pray earnestly.
I think Sunday can be for anybody
Life as it is meant to be gifted silently.

“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Do not put out the Spirit’s fire...” 1 Thessalonians 5 v 16-19

“Do not abandon the works of Your hands.” Psalm 138 v 8 NIV

prayer, calling on Your Spirit, our capacity for love spreads and this delights our Father.
Thank You, dearest Father, for the gift of Your Son and Your Spirit and the gift of time by which
we can get to know, love and serve You through the second and third Person of the Trinity. May we
never squander our time, but use it gainfully in Your service, basing this on prayer.
Sunday is a special day because it is Your day appointed for a purpose. As You call us to rest,
intrinsically this means more time in which to pray, so that we can make plans and dream
dreams together. It is so beneficial to have more time for uninterrupted conversation with You.
Thank You that there is more quietness around us on a Sunday because there is not the usual daily
hubbub. Quietness or preferably silence, offers better opportunity to pray. And Sunday could used
