Day Off

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away...

Actually yesterday was a test of faith. I think that rest can be a test of faith. See, we live in a driven society, and there's always more to do. This is especially true in my life. So when I get to the day of rest (especially recently) I think, "How can I rest when there is still so much to do?" I think it is a test of faith. In the same way God asks us to trust him with a portion of our money, he asks us to trust him with a portion of our time. Work six, rest one. Pretty risky.

I put him to the test though this week (actually it was probably taking the test). I rested yesterday from all my work. It was a great day with my family including a family nap. And it ended in my favorite way; bonfire at my in-laws house.

Now I feel refreshed and ready to finish up some stuff for tomorrow. Resting yesterday wasn't easy, faith seldom is.
