If I had a dollar for every time someone said something negative about it being Monday I'd be a very wealthy woman. I use to be one of those people...until I unexpectedly lost my job a couple years ago. My husband and I had just purchased a nice new jeep ($32k) and hadn't really enjoyed it too long when I got the call to come to the office. My boss explained to me that they were downsizing and I had to go that Friday. I wasn't sure what was going to happen but I knew God was in control. I remember waking up every morning wondering and praying and hoping for a job. It was a while before I landed a secure job and when I did...I couldn't wait for Monday. That was the day I was going to make money! That was the day that I wasn't going to wake up wondering how or where I was going to supply the needs my children needed. That was the day that I could help my husband provide for our family.
I still have my moments on Mondays where I just want to stay in bed but then I'm quickly reminded how fortunate I am to have a job and be able to help provide for my family alongside my husband. I can work toward goals, wants and needs. Sometimes on the weekends I can spend some of that Monday money on making memories with my family. I can help invest in my children's futures.
I don't think Mondays are so bad anymore. I'm grateful for my Mondays just as I am for every day of the week, the month, the year.....my life. We aren't guaranteed tomorrow so make today and everyday great!
