Do Mondays Always Have to Hurt?

I was up several times throughout the night.

The children calling “daddy” from different bedrooms will do that.

But when the day begins with appointments you do not remember making …

and work equipment not working …

and banging your head off of a low hanging piece of duct work …

you have to ask yourself: Do Mondays always have to hurt?

They probably don’t, even though it is difficult to see that when your head is still throbbing.

So, this is what I am going to do.

God has transformed suffering. He has turned it into the fuel that makes Saints.

I am going to do something ancient. I am going to get in step with our most ancient brothers and sisters.

I am going to offer the troubles of this troublesome Monday for you and your intentions.

I am going to pray that the worse I feel …

and the more bothered I become with low hanging duct work …

or yet another phone call that makes little sense …

I will be asking God to send you His graces.

And why would I do that?

Because God has transformed suffering. He has turned it into the fuel that makes Saints.

So friends, have a great Monday.

Give everything to God.

And know that you have LOTS of fuel coming your way.

in Christ,

patrick
