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. Tweet
