Sometimes we idolize the idea of being busy. And not even just the silent idea of being busy, but the "broadcast it to the whole world" idea of being busy. Almost like by making our constant busyness public, it somehow confirms we are achieving more great things than that other person who CLEARLY isn't as busy as WE are.
Yeah.
I've been there, I've done that. I've been that person.
God took a break. Yes, He worked really hard and put a lot of His energy into His big project, but then, he took a break.
Genesis 2:3
Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy,
because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

This is your cue (mine too!). To take a break from "catching up on work" on a Saturday morning and instead, cuddle on the couch with your spouse and watch House Hunters and dream together about the day when you will buy your first house. (Or are my husband and I the only ones who do that? :) )
Our lives will always be full of things to do. Work, get-togethers, groceries, laundry, fix-it's, errands, weekend trips... It's stuff that we have to get done, but let's stop broadcasting all that. Let's make a pact to stop glorifying the idea of busyness. To take a rest day and actually use it to rest!
