This is something I'm continually working on. I'm getting better about it, thanks to thoughtful and well-written posts like yours that remind me. (Thank you!) We make Sunday a special family day, where we often say no to other activities. We try to be very mindful of how we are spending our time on that day, so that it is restful and restorative. This mostly comes into play on Sunday night - we always stay home. It is so nice to have that family meal and proper bedtime to start the week off right. In other ways, I'm learning to say "no" to every request or "opportunity" that comes my way; or to at least pause, pray and think before saying yes.

Well this is though provoking! You make excellent points here, ones I need to reminded of daily. I think I am the recipient of an "unfair" gift daily - a smile from a stranger, thanks from a friend, comfort from Jesus - and yes, I am always glad. Thank YOU for these wise words today.

Love that distinction between walking "in" him and walking "to" him. Your letter was fantastic; I could identify with it completely.
