Topic: Sunday School (10/25/07)
Sunday is my favorite day of the week, has been ever since I was seven.
Understanding that I didn’t have to work for my salvation came at forty.
Never knowing Christ died to save me out of love, till I was forty-five.
Days are all the same except on Sundays when I can absorb all He has done for me
Answers to endless questions are my quest, absorbing every facet of Christ
Yielding to what He wants from me, I long to follow His perfect plan for my life.

Sunday’s are days where I can watch the little ones learn how special God is.
Chasing there hearts, teaching there souls, giving them the sharing desire
Helping little ones to learn how to share the Lord with others, how to care
Once I served my God out of fear, now I serve Him because of love.
Once I served Him to obtain salvation and daily forgiveness hoping to please Him
Longing to have Him say you’ve done enough you are welcome in heaven.

Sunday is my favorite day of the week, now that I’m fifty two
Until you know Him as I do, you will never understand, how grand His plans
Never doubt what He did for you and what He does each day, I know
Daily I’m protected by His hands, sheltered by Him and forever secure in His plans
Answers sometimes are not the ones I want, but I trust Him
Yielding my days and ways to His control and to His perfect plan

Sunday’s I can’t understand people who want to stay in bed
Creeping sunrays set a smile on my face; even raindrops can’t squish my love
Hoping out of bed (yes I can still hop at fifty-two) I race through my chores
Our laundry done, coffee cup in hand, I race for the front door.
Our dinner in, the oven set, my heart is ready for my King
Loving Him, and learning more about Him who could ask for more.

This is actually quite lovely--but it reads more like prose than poetry. Could it be put in paragraph form?

Be careful of two common errors--"Sunday's" instead of "Sundays" and "there" instead of "their".

You've got some excellent, active words choices in this verse.

I think we've been along similar paths in life. I can relate to your ending stanza about coffee cup in hand, heading out the door and dinner in the oven. I enjoyed this. Thanks.

So many have shared your experiences with the Lord and probably still do, but you have managed to come to an understanding and appreciation of God and His precious love and that that love embraces us all. This reader is happy that you have found that out.

This is really good and blesed me. I've been taking some time to reread messages and came across very lovely and inspirational pieces. Well done! This surely comes from your heart and speaks to the reader. Thank you for writing this hon. God bless you and your writing.Janice
