I am a creature of habit. I used to drive to work the same way for years and presently I eat rice everyday. I put stuff in its proper place. I am just orderly and that makes me happy. Since everything has its own location I am able to do some things without thinking. Therefore, I was thrown for a loop when my husband rushed out of the bathroom this morning and I went in to brush my teeth. Because this is one of the daily things I do without thinking I almost brushed with hair gel, which my husband left in the toothpaste spot. Luckily I caught myself.

This made me think about homeschool and today being Saturday. I am convicted myself that some days I go through the school motions just trying to get things done and survive the day. Today, a day we normally don't do school, is a great chance to rejuvenate. If you find yourself tired, worn out and going through the motions take this weekend to relax so come Monday you can focus again. I think God knew we would need a rest, hence the reason He gave us the Sabbath day. The only problem is sometimes we are so busy on our "rest" day that we don't allow ourselves to recuperate. Spend some time with God and slow down and really REST. I plan to!
