Weekend Rest

It's good to thank God it's Friday.
It's good to have a break from our vocational employment to devote ourselves to the worship of God and service of our families.
Do all things to the glory of God -- this includes eating, drinking, resting, Peets, exercising, reading, movie watching, sports, shopping, laundry, cooking, cleaning, fellowship (some things I plan to do this weekend).

But lets remember that work is a gift.
We don't work for the weekend we work for God and His glory.
We don't deserve a break, vacation, veggin' out -- although there's nothing necessarily wrong with those things.
We've already been given much more than we deserve and we'll have all eternity to enjoy our heavenly rest.

Kids enjoying their weekend rest prior to glorifying God by cleaning up the family room!

So here's to a God glorifying weekend and, Lord willing, another week ahead to work for Him too.
