Why I love Mondays

So yes it is true I love Mondays. I know that for everyone else out there Monday represents the start of another work week and that they can't wait till Friday gets here. But I love Mondays for a couple of reasons. The first one being that I get to rub it in to everyone of my freinds who have to wake up and go to work early while I get to sleep in and do nothing but relax and enjoy the day or just sleep in till the early afternoon.
But another reason and probably why I love Mondays the most is a thing that I get to be a part off every Monday night called School by the Pool. It is a one hour tutoring / bible lesson and games all wrapped up in one. Me a a few very special and warm hearted people dedicate our time every week for the kids in my apartment complex in Hurst. They are really great kids and can get a little out of control at times, but they love listening to the Bible stories and playing games. I love it because I consider myself a kid in an adults body. There have been times when we wouldn't have a lot of kids or when we have some of our most dedicated kids move away, that it just made me wonder if what we were doing is having an impact with the kids. But then there are times when those kids come back, even though they moved, and become the role models for the smaller kids.
I love Mondays for the fellowship of my fellow volunteers who some of the biggest hearts that I can think of. They truly care for these kids and they want to be there for these kids. Recently we had a couple of the kids, a brother and sister, who were having a hard time at the game we were playing and they came up and started talking to one of the volunteers. Later on when all the kids have left and we were cleaning up in the building, the volunteer told us about the conversation. You could just feel the compassion and the care that was felt in her voice. And then we all gathered around and prayed about the two kids and their family. You could truly feel the presence of God in that small building with five of His believers pouring themselves out for the kids of Hurst Gardens. It is an amazing experience and I am blessed with this opportunity to being able to reach out and help the kids in need.

Oh Yeah, did I mention that I Love Mondays.
