REST

Exodus 10:  8-11
Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates.  For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Even God takes a day off from his busy week--so we are mandated to do the same!  Think of it...ONE day a week when you can chuck the to do list and put your feet up.  Plan your weeks so you can take some much needed down time on ONE day of the week (maybe it's not Sunday for you!).  Have food in the house so you don't have to go shopping, have the laundry done, the grass mowed and a good book on hand.  Take a nap, play a game, read--do SOMETHING, anything you enjoy!  Rest repairs the body, mind and spirit and we need to indulge in it more often!

And so in keeping with the spirit of this post, I've decided that I probably WON'T post on the weekends...so the name of this blog is misleading!    It should be 365 things to do this year, but not on the weekends! Or 365 things minus 52 times 2 equals 216.  Don't you feel more relaxed already???
