This is becoming a habit – taking a day off.
More for sanity and rest than anything else. I spent a 14 hour day yesterday – all good and well. But by the end of the day I was tired. Good tired, but still tired.
So, I set up today to be an actual day off. No stepping into the office to perform church duties.
Instead, I continued on an adventure to fulfil the last will and testament of a friend. I checked out a project we have been working on as a church. I had an extended conversation with a pastor friend. I watched a movie we had borrowed from someone else. I trimmed down a door so it closed well. I joined my wife in delivering a meal. I walked across the road to help a new neighbour unpack a few things.
In all, this was a good day. Although some of the activities were church related, I did not feel at all constrained to do “the work of the ministry”. What fun! May more days of rest be just that!
well done. one NEEDS time off from the usual activities.
