I love Mondays

No really, I do.  It’s hard to explain, but here goes. 

My work week isn’t like most people.  Instead of working Monday through Friday I work Sunday through Thursday.  And while Sunday is technically my first day back at work, it’s anything but another day in the office.  Sunday is what we work for all week.  It is fun and exciting and meaningful, especially this weekend’s service.  There is work to be done, for sure, but it is the stuff I really enjoy.  So by the time Monday rolls around I’m already a day into my work week, and an exhausting one at that.  In fact, compared to Sunday, Monday is a breeze.  And, I get to do the office work that I enjoy the most, banging out the details of my talk for Wednesday.

I really do have the best job in the world.

I say all this not to brag, or to bore you with the intricacies of my day-to-day schedule, but rather to encourage you to find the best in each one of your Mondays.   Everybody has things in their life that they would change if they could, and often those become the focus of our mindset.  Instead, think of the little things that you take for granted, the stuff that you enjoy, and the ways that God has blessed you today. 

Even though it is Monday.
