One day in seven we are given to think about big things. All week we think on small things then comes Sunday and everything is different. Even if you are not a Christian and do not observe Sunday as a Holy Day, I bet you do see it as different. My non-Christian friends see Sunday as a day to kick back or be with family.

Why do they do this? In other countries Sunday is just another work day. Each day is the same.

They pay the price for that though. Our bodies need a different, special day every week. We need it like we need air.

Naturally, to Christians, it is the best day of the week. In fact, I have found that the more I focus on Sunday being Sunday and set apart, then the rest of the week goes way better than if Sunday is just another day. Even God rested from creating the whole world on the seventh day. Even God needed a rest. All creative people need a rest on this day. Have a great Sunday.

When you really don’t know what to do in a situation; and you do nothing because you aren’t sure it is the right decision; and you are stymied and do not really know what to do — I mean you really do not have a clue, and you had a couple of bad experiences before that have made you even more nervous about making a decision — know this:

In not making a decision you have made a decision to spend time in worry. Spending time in worry is the most used strategy by most people. Those who do not spend time in that worry room, but just trust that whatever happens, WHATEVER HAPPENS, they will be ok, are the most successful people in the whole world in any area of work. Yup. Worry can cause you to lose precious time, freeze you into paralysis, lose opportunities, give someone else who is not worrying about it a total advantage, and make you weak in a muscle that needs to be strong to clear cut the forest of doubt and built that house of dreams.  Everybody falls into this trap sometimes, most of the time and all of the time.

The only way to kill worry in your life it to trust in God . Maybe he put that idea in your head in the first place and what is God anyway?? chopped liver?? Does that sound outrageous to you??? Well think how God feels when you don’t move ahead.

We have such little problems compared to what the people did you went before us. the pioneers had so may obstacles that were physical as well as mental to overcome that it should make us feel ashamed of the little mole hills we have.  Just imagine being in the first covered wagon coming across the country and there are rivers and mountains to cross, and oh, yes, lets add the fact that there are no roads either and you are traveling on wooden wheels with all this stuff.

What kind of problems do you have to solve?  Find a job, get out of debt, plan retirement. Well at least if you think about what you COULD be facing it kind of puts things in perspective.
