Returning Home to Goodness

by Jacque Watkins

A mama’s heart is never far from home, no matter how far away she is. And I’m running home to the smiles and embraces, to the silly hands and smudge-filled spaces—A return to all that fills and inspires and stretches and teaches… And Sundays are for returning home, to rest in surrender to His goodness, […]

Firmly Planted in Him

Sundays are for being firmly planted  and prospering in Him…   May you be blessed this day… as you delight in Him, as you meditate in His law, as you yield fruit in your season, and as you prosper…    

The Path of Life

Sundays are for seeing His path and for walking joyfully with Him…    May you experience, this day, all the joy and pleasure that can only be found in walking the path He has for you, is my prayer… What joys have you been experiencing on your path?

Grandeur of the Heavens

by Jacque Watkins

Sundays are for declaring His majesty… For seeing the grandeur of the heavens… and for marveling at His mindfulness of me…   May you declare His majesty, be in awe of His creation, and marvel in His mindfulness of you, this day, is my prayer. What is your favorite part of God’s creation?

Satisfied for ALL He gives

Sundays are for giving thanks for His unfailing love, and for being satisfied with ALL that He gives…    This day, may you rest and be satisfied, in Him, and His unfailing love, and may you give thanks to Him for ALL He gives… What are you thanking Him for today?

Quieted with His Love

by Jacque Watkins

Sundays are for knowing He is with us, and for our hearts being quieted by His overwhelming and amazing love…   May your heart know He is with you…that He IS mighty to save, and may you be quieted with His love as He sings over you this day, is my prayer.   How have you been overwhelmed […]

Being Held in His Hand

by Jacque Watkins

Sundays are for looking to Him, and knowing He will strengthen and help you and uphold you with His righteous right hand…   May you surrender any anxiety and fear this day, and know He is holding you in His righteous right hand. How has He strengthened and helped you?

Satisfied in the Morning

Sundays are for being satisfied in the morning with His steadfast love… May your heart be satisfied by His unwavering love this day and may you rejoice and be glad in it!  What is your heart rejoicing about today? 

With Hearts Kneeled and Bowed Down

by Jacque Watkins

Sundays are for singing and worshipping… For bowing down… And kneeling before the Lord our God, our Maker…   May your heart be full of joy and awe, as you worship and sing, and kneel…and bow your heart before our Maker… What song is your heart singing this day?  

Lift up your eyes

by Jacque Watkins

Sundays are for lifting our eyes to Him, our Keeper…   As you lift your eyes to Him, may you sense His protection and keeping this day, is my prayer… How has the Lord been your protector, and the keeper of your soul?
