Everyone has their own way of spending the weekend. Some people see it as a time for relaxation and enjoyment, while others use it as an opportunity for personal productivity. Today, I'll share my unique perspective on what the weekend means to me, in hopes that it might inspire you to make the most out of your own weekends.
In my life, the weekend typically begins on Friday evening and ends on Sunday. However, the concept of the 'weekend' is not rigid for me. I consider holidays as part of the weekend too, especially when my family and I are traveling abroad. Time away from routine work is like a small vacation, and for me, that's part of the weekend.
My weekends are special, largely due to the activities I engage in. A significant portion of my weekend is dedicated to church gatherings, which also double as family time. It's like hitting two birds with one stone, fostering spiritual growth while strengthening familial bonds.
The church gathering is an essential part of my weekend. Seeing my family and church mates is a joy that if absent, could put a damper on my weekend. It's more than just an activity; it's a gathering of my larger family, bringing a unique blend of camaraderie and warmth.
Now, while weekends are traditionally considered time-off, I work during weekends too, albeit in a limited capacity. I value flexibility and believe that if work calls, one needs to respond, even if it's the weekend.
Over time, my perception of the weekend has evolved. In the past, I would sync my weekends to match my wife's off-duty days due to her shifting work schedules. That way, we could spend quality time together, even if that meant considering a regular day as a weekend.
Compared to others, my weekends might seem busy, but they are filled with joy and productivity. They are unique because they center around my church and my family, creating a sense of community that I cherish deeply.
Despite my weekends being full of activities, I wouldn't label them as purely 'rest' periods. They are more about personal productivity and spiritual development. And while problems may arise, I take them as challenges, as opportunities to become a smarter problem solver.
To anyone looking to make their weekends more fulfilling, my advice is simple: Involve God in your life. Embracing spirituality has greatly influenced my perspective, bringing a positive change in my approach to weekends.
So, readers, that's how I spend my weekends. They might not look like traditional weekends of rest and relaxation, but they are enriching and fulfilling in their own way. How about you? How do you spend your weekends? I’d love to hear from you in the comments below!
