She smiled very graciously and said, “Okay, that's quite all right, keep
praying.” 

I was so excited that I got something over on her that I could not go
back to sleep. I was so glad that it worked. I plan to use that ploy in 
the future. 

Several weeks ago, we had a very busy weekend. Not only church programs
but also other activities that took up most of Saturday. Come Monday 
morning I was completely worn out. I said to myself as I got out of 
bed, “I'm going to practice my lazy exercises all day today.” 

I went out, sat in my chair and just relaxed. It felt so good. Being
lazy has a good feeling to it at times. Of course, only people who work 
hard can appreciate those lazy moments. I was appreciating my lazy 
moment. 

I then heard the front door open and in came my wife who had been
shopping for groceries. She looked at me and said, “You're not still in 
that chair doing nothing, are you?” 

I could not use the prayer strategy because my eyes were open watching
TV. Looking at her with a grin all over my face I said, “I'm exercising 
my lazy rights. After all, it is Monday.” 

She smiled back, went into the kitchen and began putting away the
groceries. I leaned back in my chair and said to myself, “Isn't lazy 
something special!” 

It was then that I thought about a verse in Genesis. “And on the seventh
day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh 
day from all his work which he had made” (Genesis 2:2). 

Even God ended his work and rested one day during the week. He is my
example.
