Getting Ready for Sunday Morning Saturday Night
Jim Knaggs posts of the benefit a restful Saturday evening has to participating fully Sunday mornings. He says,
“I enjoy Sundays so much better now that I see the benefit of approaching the day with less distraction and more rest. I look forward to being there. I anticipate the presence of God…”
I was a few years learning that lesson myself. I also feel it is important to make enough time for Sunday morning preparation, so that I am not rushing to get dressed and out the door, sliding into the band room two minutes before start time.
I give myself an extra half-hour at home to sit and have breakfast. Then, I leave so that I will arrive about a half-hour before the service starts. That way I can organize what I will contribute to the worship and avoid anything that could distract my full attention from what God has in store for me.
