How was your week??

Another week is drawing to a close.  It's not officially over until midnight tomorrow but most of us, I think, divide our week into 2 parts.
There is Monday through Friday which encompasses a work week or a school week followed by Saturday and Sunday: "The Weekend".

I was thinking how absurd we are to lump the first and the last together when I realized that Sunday and Saturday are the bookends that hold the week together.  Sunday is designed to help us keep our focus on what is important. 
Sundays at our house have been different through different seasons.  These days we are up with the birds and in church by 8:30 AM and home by 10:00 AM leaving the remainder of the day to relax, read the paper and even watch 2, 3 or even 4 movies consecutively.  A day to reflect on the week that just ended and look forward to a new leg of this journey we're traveling together.

Included in our Sundays is the Lord's provision of His Word for a necessary heart check.  Sometimes it may be a scripture He wants us to think on in every life cirumstance we encounter.
Phillipians 4:6-8  is one passage of scripture that again and again reminds me of what God wants his children to think and do - day in and day out -

"Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again--rejoice!   Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.  Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. And now, dear brothers and sisters, let me say one more thing as I close this letter. Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise."

On Saturdays you might allow yourself a lazy morning while catching up on the week's news  or maybe it's your catch-up day for "home chores".   Saturday may also be the day you spend with your kids on outings or their sporting events, all the while making memories.

Whatever you choose to do, Saturday is always followed by Sunday -  the cycle of time continues.

                Do you ever feel like you never have enough time?

                Are you a time waster or a time treasurer?

I challenge you to evaluate your days using the passage of scripture above as a ruler to find the answers.

I'd love to hear about your findings!!
