TGIM- Thank God its Monday!

Thank God its Monday!

I don’t know about you but my weekends are pretty full on. Its starts off with Mass at 8am on Saturday then we clean the Church afterwards. On Saturday afternoons/evenings there’s always a function happening at Church or with family and friends. On Sunday we have two Masses one at 9am and the other at 11am. My wife and I are often doing something at either Mass so we usually are both present at both Masses. Then two Sunday afternoons out of four we have our Senior Youth Group gatherings. The other two Sunday’s my wife and I are on committees that meet on those days. And so, come Monday we’re pretty exhausted!

I arrive at my office on Monday mornings and just sit a bit and answer emails. I’m luckier than most people in the world because my office is right next to our Church and so I can just scoot over there and spend a few minutes with the Lord and offer up my thoughts, my goals for the week, my struggles and my joys. Whenever the photocopier breaks down or an issue just keeps bugging me. Guess what I do!

Now you may not be able to get to a chapel or church quite so easily but that doesn’t mean you can’t stop and spend just a minute catching up with an old friend. Your week will be more enjoyable if you do.

So don’t just thank God for Monday’s and Friday’s – TGFT “Thank God for Today” – it’s a gift; that is why it’s called ‘the present’ hehe….
