It is Saturday.
I like Saturdays. It is the one day a week when I do not
work. I rest.
I should clarify a bit.
It is not that I do not do any work.
I often do work around the house.
I might work on painting miniatures for board games (my hobby). The distinction is that any work I do is for
my pleasure only. Because of this,
Saturdays are relaxing.
Like many people, I do not set my alarm for Saturday morning. I let myself slowly wake up at whatever pace
my body tells me is necessary. When I do
wake up, I do not rush to get out of bed.
Instead, I do something that many people might find a bit strange. I lie there and pray.
One of the greatest things about being a Christian is that I
can talk to God whenever I want and share anything with Him. In the un-rushed hours of Saturday morning
when I am just drifting into consciousness, things pop into my head. They might be things I am grateful for, so I
thank God for them. They might be things
I am concerned about. I bring them
before the Lord in prayer. It might just
be a conversation that needs to happen.
Whatever I pray about, it is a great way to start the day, and it is
restful.
It is Saturday, and I started it by talking to God.
It is going to be a good day.
