It’s Friday and many of us can say TGIF! Working mothers and mothers working within the home look forward to sleeping in an extra hour or two, dressing down, and a much needed respite from a hectic weekly routine. On the other hand, weekends also hold a schedule full of extracurricular activities, birthday parties, sporting events, and visits from friends and family. Some mothers are so busy during the week, they look forward to family activities to reconnect with one another. Whew! Just when you thought you’d get your much-deserved day of rest, you’re waiting to exhale and wondering when your second wind will come. As I write this, I realize it isn’t Friday after all; it’s Thursday! Hmmm...does this say anything about me? Whatever level of activity is entertained in your home, on weekdays and weekends, don’t forget to take a day or a few hours for yourself to replenish your energy, rest your body, and renew your mind. Workaholics accomplish one thing...stress! Even Jesus rested!
Exodus 34:21 (NASB)
“You shall work six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during plowing time and harvest you shall rest.”
