I reflected on Colossians 3:23, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.”

Without even thinking about it, I ate my breakfast and wobbled my way to
my easy chair to sit down and continue doing nothing. 

"Do you have any plans for today?" My wife asked. 

"I have nothing to say." 

She looked at me rather strangely and then walked back to her craft room
to begin her projects for the day, whatever it was. 

I just sat on my easy chair, leaned back, and enjoyed the moment. 

One thing I've learned about these "Doing Nothing Days" is that they're
very easy to start. Nothing demands that I do nothing, and I am 
unanimous in that. 

I didn't even look at my watch because that would be doing something.
And if I'm doing nothing, why must I know what time it is? 

I enjoyed three splendid days of doing nothing. 

By Friday, the hurricane was out of our area, but there were still
driving restrictions because of some damage. But the hurricane was 
over; therefore, my days of doing nothing were ending, and I would soon 
be back doing something. 

When I was in my easy chair, I tried hard not to think because that was
doing something. But Friday morning, I could think a little and look 
back over those days with great appreciation. 

I've learned that there comes a time when I should set aside a day to do
nothing. Maybe we should have a national Do-Nothing Day. I would 
recommend one restriction: everybody would be able to pick the day they 
would do nothing. I think that would go a long way in benefiting our 
country today. 

I reflected on Colossians 3:23, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily,
as to the Lord, and not unto men.”
