Sunday

This afternoon in church, one of the scriptures for the Sacrament hymn was D&C 59:8-12 (http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/59) which reads:

8 Thou shalt offer a sacrifice unto the Lord thy God in righteousness, even that of a broken heart and a contrite spirit.

  9 And that thou mayest more fully keep thyself unspotted from the world, thou shalt go to the house of prayer and offer up thy sacraments upon my holy day;

  10 For verily this is a day appointed unto you to rest from your labors, and to pay thy devotions unto the Most High;

  11 Nevertheless thy avows shall be offered up in righteousness on all days and at all times;

  12 But remember that on this, the Lord's day, thou shalt offer thine oblations and thy sacraments unto the Most High, confessing thy sins unto thy brethren, and before the Lord.

  13 And on this day thou shalt do none other thing, only let thy food be prepared with singleness of heart that thy fasting may be perfect, or, in other words, that thy joy may be full.

The verses may look odd here because the footnotes don't show up as links but these verses stuck out to me regarding the potential power Sunday can have. Click the link, read the verses and reference the footnotes for verse 13 and allow your spirit to find the benefit of keeping the sabbath day holy. Your joy will be full.
