I’m curious… Yesterday, I posted a Facebook status update and didn’t receive any comments. As a matter of fact, I didn’t receive any “likes” either. I was ignored and shutdown! LOL! I posted the status on Friday morning, in the midst of all the numerous TGIF declarations. Honesty, I got tired of seeing all the “weekend shout-outs.” This is what I posted…
“Every Friday I see many status updates giving shout-outs for the WEEKEND. Does anyone ever enjoy Monday-Thursday? I do! Why is it that we have to “work for the weekend?” Where’s the enjoyment of living everyday? I love what I do! Here’s to the WEEKDAYS!
Are there that many people who are displaced in purpose and function? I recently read in an article, in Live Science, which said that 61% of Americans are dissatisfied with their profession. And there’s even a lower number of those under the age of 25. Very sad.
Here’s my take… I find nothing wrong in loving weekends. I especially love Sundays. My issue is that “working for the weekends” only displays an imbalance of priorities and a confusion of purpose. God made the whole week… each day… and said, “It was good” (Gen. 1).
I’m afraid that we, as a society, are addicted to pleasure and leisure and resistant to purpose and productivity. But I know there’s life and celebration in both. I believe joy can come from work and toil. How? When recognize that the purpose of our jobs or careers is not about making a living, rather about making life.
Much more to be said here…
Here’s to the Weekdays!
I didn’t see the post. I would have “liked” it TWICE!!! God made all days. 🙂
I would’ve liked it twice, if I had seen the fb post. Whether it be Friday or Monday, the same verse applies, “This is the day the LORD has made, let us rejoice and be glad.”
Sorry Pastor do not get much on Facebook but I am guilty at times of the same thing wanting the weekend to come. In regards to my job I ask God daily who do I need to speak to today because I know he has me there for that whether it’s a coworker or client. I am learning to love my job.
I didn’t see the post but i would of liked it twice Pastor.
Well Pastor I don’t get on facebook much and I do understand what you mean. So I know that a lot of people they love their Facebook
So we need to show them that the lord is very
Important in their livves.
I think I’m a weird case becuase I particularly dislike Saturdays. I’m usually bored on Saturdays and usually enjoy Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays because they give me something to do. I’m able to have fun and seek the Lord all at once! Gotta love my church fam 🙂
What’s the different’s !! They all are gift’s !! For a single Mom weekend’s are the worst working, childcare and keeping your teen out trouble !!!
