It's 8:47 on Saturday night...What are you doing?...
...I am getting ready to get our clothes ready for church. I am going to pack up my bag tonight with everything I need for sharing time. I am going to get our Sunday meal all prepped. In other words I am going to be ready for Sunday! On Saturdays I should be singing the Primary song (Primary is kind of like Sunday School for the children at our church), "Saturday is a special day, it's the day we get ready for Sunday!" I am actually ready (or I am about to be) this week. You remember that song from the 80's that says:"just another manic Monday. Ohhhhh. Wish it were Sunday..." I have to admit I don't always feel that way about Sunday. Not because I don't like going to church-because I do! Just because I always forget to prepare and we end up running out the door after a crazy 30 minutes of trying to pull it all together. Sometimes we play too long with Lego's or sleep in too long... :) But not this week! I am going to be ready!!! The house is clean (ish...you know what I mean...There is always room for improvement! We did pick up, dust, sweep, and all that jazz today.) and we are ready to go...Except one thing I literally just remembered. Jake is going to give a talk in Primary and he never did write it. No problem he can write it in the morning when we would normally be running around trying to find his other church shoe...which, by the way, is where it is supposed to be with the other one ready for Sunday. I even have the Primary CD in the CD player to set the mood...I am excited to start the week off right. Here's to non-manic Sunday's and starting the week off in the right frame of mind. Have a great Sunday whatever you and your family will be doing!

When I was growing up, my mom and we three kids were never ready on time so my mom and dad would have a big fight. It set the mood for church!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I so know what you are talking about! One great thing that I bought that has been an amazing resource for talks is the Gospel Art Kit. The one in the box where each picture comes out and there is writing on the back of it that explains what the picture is about. We love it, and the girls can prepare their own talks so easily. It has been a huge help in that crazy Sunday preparation program!!!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I wish I would have read this post on Saturday. I'm usually pretty good about getting things ready, but last Saturday we played all day until 11pm... 9am church came WAY too early and we were way TOO stressed. Yes, the Saturday song is a good thing :) Thanks for the reminder.
