Monday Musings

My Monday started off with a bang.  Or maybe I should say a hiss.  I headed out for a bike ride and at some point ran over something.  No matter how hard I pedaled I kept getting slower and slower.  Going slow on Monday is not unusual, but this was slower than slow!  I stopped at one point and saw that my rear tire was losing air.  I limped along, hoping to make it home.  Unfortunately, about a quarter of a mile from home I had to get off and walk the bike. 


Before my Monday got Mondayed, I was enjoying myself and remembering a conversation from yesterday.  I chatted with a young man who went to camp last week.  When I asked if he had a good time, I got more than I expected.  This 15 year old told me all about the preaching by the day time speaker, Pastor Ron Garrett.  He talked about each message and I could tell he had been greatly impacted.  It did my heart so much good.  I know this young man is hitting an age where he will start choosing the things of God or the things of the world.  His parents have influenced him, but with each passing year he will be making more choices of his own.  Once again, I'm so thankful for youth camp!

While driving home from the grocery store I was listening to Dennis Prager.   He said something that I did not want to forget:
The vast majority of those who are famous are not significant and the vast majority of those who are significant are not famous.
I thought that was so good!  The people who have had a significant impact on my life are not, and probably never will be, famous.  I may not be famous, but I pray that my life will be significant.  It was on that positive note that my Monday turned back around.  Because hating Monday every week is a horrible way to spend one seventh of a lifetime!

Thankful for Monday

Surprising blog title, isn't it? Thankful for Monday? Well, I could be like Garfield this morning...


But you know what? If I spend every Monday feeling grumpy and complaining that it's Monday, I will waste one seventh of my life feeling that way! What a horrible waste!

I am currently 47.5 years old. That's 2470 Mondays! If I live to be 90, that's 4680 Mondays. And if I live to 100 that's 5200 Mondays. That's a lot of days to be grumpy.

Psalm 118:24 says, "This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." We hear that quoted on Sundays, but EVERY day is the day which the Lord that made! Rejoice it's Monday!

Verse of the Day
