It did not take me long to close up shop and head home for an early
lunch. When I got there, my wife was rather surprised and told me that 
lunch was not quite ready yet. 

I assured her that I was not in a hurry and went into the living room
and sat in my favorite easy chair leaning back and took the 
snooze-position. For the life of me, I can understand what happened. It 
just felt so good just to set there and do nothing. 

My wife called me to lunch, we had a very delicious lunch together and
my plans were to get back to the office and into work mode. 

As I got up to leave I happened to glance in the direction of the living
room and saw a lonely easy chair longing for someone to set on her. 

“Well,” I thought to myself, “just a few minutes of sitting won't do
anybody any harm.” 

So I went and sat down in the chair. It felt so good. An hour went by.
Then I convinced myself, “Why not just spend one more hour in this very 
comfortable chair.” 

And so my confession. On the last holiday, I absolutely did nothing. I
sat in my chair and before I knew it, it was suppertime. 

For my confession. I must confess quite sincerely that it really and
truly felt good to do nothing for a whole day. 

John the beloved understood this when he wrote, “If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from 
all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). 

The experience of God's wonderful forgiveness is based upon my
confession.
