If you can, rest.

A late Friday afternoon message.

Rest is a necessity.

It’s also, at times, a luxury.

Both when I worked at a church and also as a professional entertainer in Las Vegas, traditional weekends were times I had to work. About the time everyone was saying, “have a great weekend!” I was gearing up for my big work days.

So, I know Friday isn’t “Friday” to everyone.

Also, sometimes life gets to a place where you just need to work more to make ends meet. Maybe you have a second job or need to log some overtime.

But, sometimes…a Friday is a “Friday” and a weekend is a “weekend.”

If that happens to be your lucky situation today, I have a challenge for you:

Rest.

Sleep in.

Do nothing.

Take a nap.

Go for a stroll.

Read a book.

Watch a movie.

Some of us are wired to turn our rest days into busy days.

I just have a hunch a few of you needed to hear this today…

Rest well this weekend.

You deserve it.

And you need it.
