Its Monday, and what better way to start the week then a little bit of The Mama and The Papas?
Yes, that right,I think most of us can sing with then as they sing:
Every other day, every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
You can find me cryin’ all of the time
It’s Monday, the day that can crush your dreams and hopes as quickly as the sound of the alarm clock in the morning. Oh, the depression of returning to work and school and going away from the freedom of the weekend. But let’s remember as much as we might dislike Mondays, it is still a blessing from the Lord and another day to bring glory to him. Take a peek at the encouragement of Paul to Timothy as he says:
7-11Everything in the world is about to be wrapped up, so take nothing for granted. Stay wide-awake in prayer. Most of all, love each other as if your life depended on it. Love makes up for practically anything. Be quick to give a meal to the hungry, a bed to the homeless—cheerfully. Be generous with the different things God gave you, passing them around so all get in on it: if words, let it be God’s words; if help, let it be God’s hearty help. That way, God’s bright presence will be evident in everything through Jesus, and he’ll get all the credit as the One mighty in everything—encores to the end of time. Oh, yes! (1 Peter 4:7-11, The Message)
Then we can still sing The Mamas and The Papas, we can just focus on this part of the lyrics:
Monday Monday, so good to me,
Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Yes!
