I don't know about you, but the end of the week, for me, is Sunday.
My entire work week is focused on getting ready for Sunday worship and Sunday meetings and classes.
Sunday is the "end" of a week of effort and planning. Sunday is culmination of six or more days of focus.
Therefore . . . Monday, out of necessity, has been the first day of my week for very, very long time.
As I have written before, on most Monday mornings, I have the opportunity to sing at different retirement and assisted living residences in my immediate area.
And, I also now sing on the third Wednesday mornings of the month as well.
Singing is a great way to start the week. It's the best way for me personally. Singing on Monday helps me shake off the fatigue from the previous days work at the church. Singing on Monday also helps me focus on what lies ahead in the upcoming week. I guess one could say that singing on Mondays is my time for a mental, physical and spiritual workout. It takes an effort. It takes practice and rehearsal. I leave feeling a little tired . . . but it's a "good" tired. I get a return of energy for all the energy I put into it.
How do you start off you week? I start my week off by singing!
God's grace still amazes me . . . ><>
