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!
