I never fought Sunday shopping for religious reasons, but having said that we all learn something every day that we are here and blessed to be on this earth. I've noticed as time went on with Sunday shopping it wasn't just about some one's right to shop, but what was taken away by having it. I don't see any corporation or government promoting a day of rest or a family day, which we used to remember them by being called "Sunday". With the exception of a few companies that do honor a day of rest, Chick-Fil A and Hobby lobby. People wanted churches out of there lives, and now that churches are out of there lives, they do not preach about the day of rest any longer. So who's going to preach about that now? The government? Retail stores? Who? It's no wonder we have the problems that we do today. If it's not taught it can not be learned. It does not matter to me if the girl guides teach us about it. How can families bond with the pressures of everything being open seven days a week?
We are a society that seems to accept the government when they do wrong and dismiss and forget it. The Sunday shopping plebiscite a prime example. A vote ignored by the wishes of Nova Scotians. So what do we do? Nothing! We accept what the government did to us morally and legally. If any of us stole or broke a law where would we be? Would we get away with it? Would you accept it? Like you do with the government?
A Pastor Willie Lark, Sr out of MI would like us to support him and calling on all Christians to stop shopping on Sundays.

You don't have to be a Christian to support this pastor, It doesn't matter if you are an atheist , you still need down time to spend with you're families. Retail stores that were closed on Sundays , were often compared to restaurants , call centers, coffee shops that were open on Sundays. We were told that "we're no better than them". That we should work too! Seriously?? So if you buy a new car, we should all buy one too? What always bothered me, the fact that we were all played off against one another. One occupation against another occupation, you know divide and conquer to get what you want. The problem could have been solved very easily. Why not offer restaurants, call centers, coffee shops and all other non essential workers Sundays off? Why?
Our province, should be supporting this pastor, who cares about what's happening to our families today. It goes well and beyond Sunday shopping. Look at how people treat one another now? No one is bonding like they used to , no one is having that family get together like we used to. But today, who's in charge? The religion of business? There target is to make money seven days a week. Not promoting a day of rest. Not promoting family time. Not promoting any holiday. If they could open holidays in our province, the stores would be open in a heart beat. Corporations do not care about the environment either. It's all about making millions for the CEO's of this country. Seriously...are we not concerned to where this country is going? You wanted God out of you're lives, look who's in charge and what they are doing to you. I've seen a lot of deaths lately, showing us that life is too short and precious. Showing me that days like Sundays are special and that we need that time to be together. Bonding should not stop after birth, it should continue in our lives. Sunday shopping is destroying that.
We used to have a unique province that stood out from the rest of Canada. It's sad, lets make a stand two ways, support this pastor out of the USA and pressure our government to ban Sunday shopping. Hey we can do with out shopping when we have a snow storm or a power outage. Surely we can do it one day a week. Surely we can do it for the workers who don't want to be there on a Sunday. Happy Easter, this may be a uphill battle, but if you can not have an opinion..it doesn't say too much for the country we live in. Have a great day and thank you for reading. Please share and support our American pastor out of the USA.
