a good day off

friday was a great day to be alive. out on the water, the sun on my face, warm weather, and people who are becoming good friends. not to mention the fishing. check these out.

every week i am supposed to get a day to be still, to rest. for most followers of Christ, that is on Sunday when they go to church and spend time with their families. for the pastor, sunday is not a day of rest in the least. so i choose friday to be the day where i dont do anything too productive. this is a necessary, God ordained day of rest for retrospection, worship, and remembering what God has done for you. God rested on the seventh day, not becasue He was tired. but because He was looking at what He had just accomplished. so as i sat on a boat in the middle of a beautiful lake, feeling the amazing heat of the sun, the fish tugging on the end of my line, laughing it up with some friends, i remembered the One who created all this. and i was thankful. knowing that God was with us, because He lives in those who are identified with His Son.

tell me how you rest with God every week?
