All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. Hebrews 12:11 NASB Sunday mornings can be anything but joyous. How many Sabbaths are spent doing last-minute ironing and rousing sleepy children after busy weekend activities in an attempt to get to the church on time? How often are smiles slapped on when the car door slams in the parking lot? Add needing to arrive early or frantic searching for a missing Bible, and emotional reserve becomes depleted exponentially.
