We all know what TGIF stands for--Thank God (or Goodness) It's Friday. I used to feel that way in my younger days, but now it's more like Thank God I'm Alive!
Fridays seem boring to me now. When you don't work and have no partner, Fridays are pretty much like the other 6 days of the week. I know, it's the beginning of the weekend for the employed, but I haven't been employed for 32 years now and there was a time when I did look forward to Fridays--if I had something planned. Now, about the only thing I plan is what I'm going to eat, and what time I'm going to bed. Unless I've been asked to watch grandkids. And then it's, what am I going to feed them and what time will they go to bed so I can relax? Now it may seem like I'm complaining, but actually I'm not. I'm just saying, Fridays are no more special than any other day--and we should try to make them all special.
Like Sunday, there's a day to look forward to. Getting cleaned up, going to church, hearing a great message, seeing awesome friends, singing and then usually going out to eat with some of those awesome friends. In fact, as I sit here and type this, I realize that the things I look forward to most in life involve my church in some way. That's definitely a good thing. Members of my family are even showing up at church more frequently--that's even better.
And TGIA to enjoy it all. ; )
