A Day of Rest

Bill and I put in place a day of rest a few years ago now,just one problem....it's on Sunday.  At the time we established Sunday as a day of rest we were both working M-F.  Sat. was our day to get stuff done around the house and take care of any business that we couldn't do during the week.  So, Sunday it was; however, we volunteer at church on Sundays, so does that count?  My husband says working with the kids is fun, not work.  I say, it is fun and work! It bothered me, but I didn't really feel like I had any other options.  I gave it to God and said, "show me".  Well, now that I am home during the week-I have more options.  I chose Monday as my day of rest.  The same Monday that never bothered me before to take it easy and not worry about accomplishing much is now the Monday that is finding all sorts of stuff that needs to be done.  Wow-who knew resting would be such a task. You'd think out of all the commandments this one would be in the bag-no problem. I guess I have some things to figure out like: What's considered work? What should one do when they are resting? Seriously, so far, having a day of rest feels like work-lol.  I will conquer this. I will.  I just need to practice resting so I can get better at it.
