Sunday: a day of meditation
The great relecting pool on the National MallAre you spending more time at work and less time with family? You are not alone – in the last two decades people are spending less time with their families and more time at work. Many pressures regarding schedule and finances have splintered the family. In this day when family time is under siege and divorce is high, it is even more important to have a pause during the week from the crazies.
Sunday allows such a pause – and when it is done community wide, it is surreal and rejuvenating. One slow paced day in a week allows time of reflection and thought – it allows a truly enlightened nation time to sit back and consider its course and priorities. Where families spend the day together and instead of worrying about the pressures of work – instead they consider the blessings that God has given them.
