It was called “Wonderful Wednesday.”

No classes scheduled.

A day to catch up.

Great idea, right?

Get this: Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.

Christ Jesus said that.

He went on: Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.

And maybe best of all, I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.

Christ Jesus promises you that in Matthew 11:28-30, The Message Version.

Officially-sanctioned “Wonderful Wednesdays” were a long time ago for me. So long ago that I forget them and what they were like. 

But I remember the need. Regularly.

How about you? When’s the last time you felt the importance of finding a way to recover your life, as our Lord said?
