Day of "Rest"
Sometimes I marvel at Sunday being called the day of rest. Most days of the week I wake up with Marian, leisurely eat breakfast, exercise, shower, and do whatever I want to keep us busy. So contrast that with my "day of rest" yesterday:
We started the day off with a scheduled power outage from 7 am to noon. It was a stormy day so our apartment was pretty gray! The power came back on at 9:40 as Marian and I were walking out the door. Here was our schedule the rest of the day:
7-10 Adam's meetings
9:45 practice song for Relief Society (I sang a duet with Lindsay Florence)
10:15 meeting
11:00-2:00 church, sing in Relief Society
3:00 visit teach
3:45-5:00 frantically make and frost about 90 mini cupcakes and make dinner--actually Adam was the hero here and did the cupcakes and casserole while I tried to keep up with the dishes, set the table, and prepared some training
5:00 we had our friends the Wagstaffs over for dinner
6:45 got the cupcakes to the car in the midst of a major snow/sleet storm
7-8:30 training meeting (I did about a 45-minute training)
By the time I fell in bed, I was so exhausted! Today I'm recovering from my "day of rest!"And just to clarify: I am not complaining. I am so grateful to belong to a church that continually helps me stretch and sacrifice. I am grateful my church lets me be involved and feel needed. Although I was tired and achy by the end of the day, I felt so satisfied and fulfilled from being part of the Lord's work.
