• Can you eat too much food? 
  I think we did today.  After
  service we met up with my family and my cousins family to celebrate our Aunts
  birthday at Fortune Star.  The food was
  half-decent but there was just way too much of it.  It was nice being able to be with family and just have a relaxing
  weekend. 

  It seems like between work, church activities and
  family we rarely have a weekend just for ourselves.  I think we both felt somewhat guilty because the church needed
  some help with cleaning up the church on Saturday but we were both beat –
  physically and mentally.  We decided to
  get some rest and recharge our batteries by sleeping in and heading out to
  Baltimore to see an Orioles game.  It
  was a great win because the O’s won (something I rarely see when I go to a game)
  in the 9^th inning breaking a 2-2 tie. 
  

  It’s tough to say “no” to helping out at church, mostly because
  we were both brought up with the lessons of the importance of service, setting
  the example and the idea that many hands make the work go faster.  But we also have learned that God’s servicing
  world does not rotate around two people. 
  It’s important to have opportunities available for others and to also
  take rest and be joyful for the rest that God gives us.  God gives us rest and God gives us the opportunities
  to grow joyfully through our faith, service and love towards others.
