Do you have a favorite day of the week? Most folks would say Friday or Saturday because that’s the beginning of the weekend and they don’t have to go to work. Some might say Sunday because that’s church day when they get to have fellowship with their friends. Others may choose Wednesday, “hump day”, because it’s all downhill to the weekend from there.
I’m a bit of an oddball. I find my favorite day is Monday. Most people dread Monday because it’s back to work for a whole week. But to me, Monday represents a fresh start, a chance to do better, an opportunity to begin something positive. Diets begin on Monday. People start new jobs on Monday. School resumes on Monday (this is good for parents!). Staff meetings most commonly happen on Monday to get everybody on the same page.
Yep, Mondays get a bad rap. They shouldn’t be depressing. Think of them as God’s way of giving you another clean slate.
