MOM: Sally, what was wrong with you today?

SALLY: What do you mean?

MOM: I just couldn't seem to get you to get up from bed.

SALLY: Mom, the bed was so warm.

MOM: I know that, Sally.

SALLY: And the floor was so cold.

MOM: I know that too.

SALLY: And, besides, it was just church day.

MOM: Just church day!!! What do you mean just church day.

SALLY: You know what I mean.

MOM: No, I don't. Tell me.

SALLY: Well, I mean...........you know what I mean. It's just hard to get up on Sunday. I like to sleep in.

MOM: But what about yesterday?

SALLY: What about it? It was my birthday.

MOM: I know. But the floor was just as cold and the bed was just as warm and you still got up real early.

SALLY: But I wanted to open my presents. It was real important. It was a special day.

MOM: Sundays are special days too, Sally.

SALLY: Well......

MOM: Sundays are days we set apart to learn more about God's Word and to worship Him.

SALLY: Yes, I know

MOM: Going to church is a privilege we take too much for granted. We forget it's special.

SALLY: I see what you mean. I think I'll take one of the ribbons off of one of my presents and put it where it will remind me that Sunday is special also.

MOM: How about you boys and girls? Do you have trouble getting up for church? Maybe Sunday morning is a hassle at your house because your dad and mom always have to be yelling at you to hurry up and get moving. Treat Sunday as a special day. Get to bed early on Saturday so you'll be ready to serve and worship the Lord on Sunday. Bye everyone.

SALLY: See you later, Mom. Bye boys and girls.
