Thankful

Tonight I am thankful that God has commanded us to rest on Sundays. The more work we do, especially on Saturdays, the more I realize what a blessing Sunday is. As my mom said today, "If we didn't have to rest, we wouldn't." But we do have to, so we do. It is much easier to work hard on a Saturday when we know that the next day we can go to church and come home and spend a quiet day worshipping God and visiting with friends, then if we knew we'd get up in the morning and work hard and get grimy and tired again.
I am also thankful for the work we could get done today - putting in window wells, filling them with gravel, and putting the dirt back around them. It looks much better. :)
If you are interested in the military, or in politics, you should watch this. I think it is a good idea for the high up powers that be to know what the ground workers actually experience. I believe the workers would probably have a lot more respect for their authorities as well. It is pretty hard to respect the ones who give the commands if they are sitting in their city offices without a clue of what is actually going on, and no guts to do the physical hard work. So kudos to Defence Minister Peter MacKay for getting right in there and spending a couple of days in military training.
Goodnight!
