'...he gives to his beloved sleep' (Psalm 127:2)
A bonus of working from home is the freedom to choose when to get up. I get a great deal of satisfaction in snoozing my alarm and snuggling back down under the duvet. If I was really mean, I might say that the fact my two sisters have to get up earlier than me makes the chance to lie in all the more sweeter...
...But I'd never say such a thing!
In all seriousness, the chance to lie in - for most people, Saturday morning - is a blessing we shouldn't let slide.
God created us for work, but made a day especially for resting too.
Let's thank Him for it!
(I write a post like this, but if I ever became a mum and I had a child who was indulging in a lie-in for longer than they should, I might be tempted to march in and yell Proverbs 6:9 at them.
'HOW LONG WILL YOU LIE THERE, O SLUGGARD? WHEN WILL YOU ARISE FROM YOUR SLEEP?'
But that's just me ;) )
