So when it's unbearable outside, and the mosquitos chew you up at 9:00 in the morning and you happen to find yourself with a totally free weekend what do YOU do? Sadly, (or maybe not sadly because I love my job), I almost always end up in my office. But I have been vowing to find myself things to do that take me away from the office and the computer that use my creativity.
So this weekend I browsed around the farmers market, had coffee with a friend, then headed to the fabric store to buy some material and pulled out the wonderful sewing machine I bought 3 years ago; used, and then tucked away in a closet. The result was a fun afternoon making myself an apron. Nothing earth shattering - and it's not a fancy one but it was fun. Now I'm thinking of making some fabric wall art. Why don't we all take time for our hobbies; and why do I feel guilty for having a weekend when I really don't have something specific I need to be doing? Shouldn't we revel in that moment scarce as they are? Shouldn't I just say "this is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it?"
I am grateful for the weekend. Truth of the matter is, I had a long "honey do list" for my husband. A list of things to do outdoors but it was too hot, he hurt his back and I couldn't do the list by myself. So I guess God treated me to a relaxing weekend for a reason. What a joy!
