Happy Sunday, everyone! This morning, we looked outside and saw the cows already out and about, probably thinking, “Hey, let’s get an early start on being fabulous.” Meanwhile, I was still in my nightgown, contemplating whether I should even bother getting out of bed. Turns out, the cows decided that the best way to kick off the day was to have a quick moo-ment of exercise, then immediately run when we tried to get them back in. They’ve got their moo-ments of glory, and I’ve got mine. Sitting here wondering if I should be taking life lessons from bovine experts in chillin’. Honestly, if cows can be this committed to doing absolutely nothing, I say we all deserve a little moo-vement in our Sunday routine. So here’s to starting your day with worshipping God and doing what makes you happy. Even if that’s just lying around like a herd of well-rested cows. That’s a moo-velous Sunday, folks! Ok. Enough of the “moo” puns.
