This is one question I receive quite often, "So what do you do on your day off?" The funny thing is, I don't ever think of Monday as my "day off," though officially, it is. I think some people think I spend the whole day doing what this guy is enjoying. But I thought I'd give you a list of what I am doing today, which though has some atypical parts to it, is typically atypical.
But as Jonathan Edwards stated in Resolution #1
- Spending time with the Lord through His Word and prayer
- Helping the kids prepare for school
- Doing laundry
- Cleaning the house as my wife is at co-op with the kids
- Blogging (as you can see)
- Preparing lunch for my oldest daughter who is studying/working at home
- Preparing for premarital counseling tonight
- Reading a book called Sticky Faith as I consider youth ministry and discipleship
- Sending out emails preparing for our trip to Malawi
- Reading a book on the founding of Europe and World History
- Driving with my family to the South Bay to lead a premarital counseling session for a friend
- Premarital counseling probably till the later evening
- Drive back home
But as Jonathan Edwards stated in Resolution #1
Resolved, that I will do whatsoever I think to be most to God’s glory, and my own good, profit and pleasure, in the whole of my duration, without any consideration of the time, whether now, or never so many myriad’s of ages hence. Resolved to do whatever I think to be my duty and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general. Resolved to do this, whatever difficulties I meet with, how many and how great soever.
I am blessed to have breath and I don't want to waste a second of it. It's God's grace upon grace.
