My day of Rest

Here we are.....It's Sunday and it's going to be a day of rest for me.  My hubby and I are going to disappear for the afternoon for some much needed me time.  I have been putting in a lot of hours at the restaurant and since I have the next four days off, it is going to be nice to get away for a few hours.  No spinning, no knitting, I am not even going to cook dinner tonight.  I have cooked enough meals for others lately.  Nope....tonight I am going to let someone else cook for me.  :)  I think I deserve that once in awhile.

Here are a couple of the meals that our restaurant served on our first Valentines Day dinner.

Now you can see why I need a rest.  This was only a smidgen of what was served.  There were other meals as well.  And the desserts as well.

Had a wonderful service at church this morning, and feel rejuvenated by it.  Pastor Jones talked about how we need to stop quenching the fire of our faith and instead, feed that fire, stoke it and help it to burn oh so brightly.

If you want to should "Praise the Lord" during the service, then go ahead and do it.  We have been ingrained for so long to still quietly in church and "go with the flow" so to speak.  Raise your hands in adoration to the Lord and his spirit all around us.  With out the church the fire becomes embers and will eventually get cold.  We need to continuously keep building the fire to keep it healthy and strong.

The sermon was called the Incendiary Fellowship and it was based on 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28.
