Your Question:
Can I really afford to take time off work?
Answer:
As a pastor, I believe that taking time off work is not only necessary but also biblical. In fact, the Bible teaches us to rest and recharge, just like God did after creating the world. In Genesis 2:2-3, it says, "By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done." However, as a husband and father of two, I also understand the importance of being responsible with our time and resources. We have to balance our need for rest and relaxation with our obligations to our family and community. As a family, we have to make sure that we're not neglecting our responsibilities or putting our health at risk by working too long hours. But at the same time, we also need to make time for rest and rejuvenation. In our household, my wife Susan and I have to be mindful of our schedules and make sure that we're not overcommitting ourselves. We have to prioritize our family time and make sure that we're not sacrificing our relationships with each other and our children for the sake of work. As a father, I want to be present for my children, Joshua and Rebecca, and make sure that I'm not missing out on important moments in their lives. So, while taking time off work is essential, we have to be responsible and intentional with our time.
