Sunday blahs

Hello, Sunday. Why are you such a hard day to live through? I don't much like the idea of going to church anymore, except my older children do, so I feel guilty. It's not like they hang out with their friends and chit chat during the service. They truly listen to the sermon. Why they want to go must be a reason known only to God. I would love a smaller group setting, or even a home church. Where people truly cared about each other, and it wasn't such a superficial experience.

Why must you drag on soooooo long, and then dramatically be over in the blink of an eye? I always get a headache on your day, Sunday. We are going to church at night to do Financial Peace, so that part is fun, but the rest of your day is just BLAH!

I need to make you more interesting. Maybe I don't much like you because you always signify my husband's last day off. You're the last piece of cake. The end of the good stuff.

I need to wake up with a better attitude. I know this. I just wish I was happier with the choices that my husband wants to make, vs the choice I want to make. He likes going to church. He likes lounging around and doing nothing on your day, Sunday. He like(d) watching absolutely everything on television, and feeling like he needed to sleep all day long. I should be okay with this. Really, I know that....

But Sunday....I have to blame something.

Holly,

I can understand how your older children love church. When I was that age, I was newly saved, and I couldn't go to church enough. I was there every time the doors were opened, and twice on Sunday. There's just something about being in God's presence, that makes you want to soak it up.

I used to struggle with weekends, too; my husband's idea of weekends vs. mine, and when I just let go, and let him have it how he wanted it, things were so much better. :-)

I still dislike weekends, though, because the house gets destroyed. But, now, I grit my teeth and put on a happy face, and slog thru the chores on Monday.

Do you have any valium? That would help you relax. :-)

Just kidding!!!
