Keeping Sabbath Holy

Every Sunday millions of people around the world go to church to keep the Sabbath day holy. Each person has their own beliefs and traditions. When I was a kid we had a donut place on the way to church and we would get a dozen and eat them in the car on the way to church.
Now I have a better understanding for what it means to keep the Sabbath day holy. I had great missionaries and they explained to me a lot of different things. The biggest lesson I had to relearn was keeping the Lords day Holy. I had not been to church in years, I would go to the store, restaurants, and do other things that did not bring me or my family closer to God. 
Sundays are for worship. Praising the Lord and doing things that would make Him happy with us. Making other people have to work on this day isn’t really fair to them. Think about it for a minute. When you have a job do you want to work on Sunday? Some people have no choice, in order to keep their job they have to work when they are scheduled. Every time you decide to go to a store or out to eat on a Sunday you take away someone else's right to follow their God.
Many religions ask that their people not do certain things on Sunday. But they don’t really have a rule about it or think it’s wrong. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes whole heartedly that you should keep away from some activities on the Sabbath day. They teach their members to avoid going to stores, restaurants, and other places on Sunday as by not going you may be giving the person that works there time to pray.
I know that some Sundays I am very tempted to do things I know would not please the Lord, when this happens I start thinking, what would it hurt? It would hurt our Father in Heaven very much for us to forget him for even a moment. Do you really need to do things on Sunday? Yes there are emergencies and going to the hospital at those times is not blocked. If every family stayed home instead of doing all the errands on Sunday stores would have to close their doors on Sunday no business no reason to be open and then everyone who chose to would be able to keep that day Holy and do things that would be pleasing to the Lord.
Read the scriptures, listen to uplifting music, spend time with family and friends, help your kids learn what the right path is, have family prayers. There are thousands of things you could do on Sunday to keep it Holy… think before you act on Sunday’s or any day of the week and ask if what you are about to do would hurt God or please God.
