Friday's Coming


Friday is tomorrow. I can hardly contain my excitement! I can't wait to go to sleep tomorrow night knowing that I will not have to rise before the sun does. I have taken for granted the ability to sleep in during the summer. I am thankful for so much that I took for granted previously. I guess that's how life is. You don't appreciate what you have until you no longer have it. That is what discontenement really is about. It is the realization that you will only be happy in the situation that you can no longer be in. Sounds confusing, but that is what discontentment is about. It is the confusion and irritation at every single thing that life has to offer and the yearning for the days past and present that can no longer be accessed. I still can't wait for Friday, but I know that there are many Friday's during the week that I haven't stopped to appreciate.

Proverbs 19:23

" The fear of the LORD leads to life:
Then one rests content, untouched by trouble. "
