Sunday:

(pronounced /ˈsʌndi/ or /ˈsʌndeɪ/ ( listen)) is the day of the week between Saturday and Monday. In most Christian traditions it is considered the "Christian Sabbath"

Last fall my husband and I attended our stake conference in which the visiting authority encouraged us to be better at keeping the Sabbath Day Holy. He gave specific suggestions, like turning off the television and engaging more with our children. He said that Sunday became his children's favorite day of the week and that our relationship with our own children would be strengthened if we would follow this counsel.

The following Monday our family sat down and made some Sunday goals together. No television, no movies, no computer . . . no electronics as a whole. We would listen to only classical or church music and my husband and I promised not to nap the day away. We've implemented our goals and here are the results:

• less arguing
• more sharing
• lots and lots of family board games
• more talking
• more connecting
• more peace
• more laughter
• more time

In a nutshell, it has brought more of what we've been longing for and less of what we've needed to rid ourselves of

and suddenly Sunday has become our favorite day too.

One of my favorite thoughts from church yesterday:

"The scriptures are full of whatever is on your mind while you are studying them."
