It's been a crazy few weeks. Between extra projects during an already busy time at work, a college graduation, end of school year activities with the boys and the loss of my grandmother my body and mind were screaming out to take a break. Finally this weekend I did just that.
I got off work a little early Friday and went straight home. Then I spent all day Saturday at home. The only time I left the house was for about 10 minutes to go pick up one of the boy's friends. Other than that it was a restful day ending with a nice visit with my husband's parents. (And yes, I love his parents like my own, so visits with them are always nice.) Sunday was much the same. Slept in, then went to church and out to lunch and home for the rest of the day.
Sometimes we need a weekend like that. A time when we can relax and recharge. A time to be quiet and listen for the Lord's voice. It seems like the busier we are the more likely it is that we will miss what He is saying to us.
Rich and I like to have a date night each week. Time to spend with each other without the kids or household responsibilities where we can just focus on "us." I read somewhere that we should "make a date with Jesus." To carve out a quiet time each day to spend in prayer and focus on Him. Sounds like a great idea to me.
Mark 1:35 - Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.
