It’s compared to America’s “hump days” for
Wednesdays. Also know as “little Saturday.” It is a Nordic cultural
tradition whereby Wednesdays are viewed as opportunities for little weekend
celebrations. Instead of trudging through a five-day week, why not break it up
with a little indulgence, a big of fun, every Wednesday?
“Hump day” is sometime known as “the toughest day of
the week.” Or “just getting through the week.” The “longest day
between the weekend.” When you’re working it does seem to be a long day.
I remember as a new Christian my church had services on
Wednesdays. There was a meal before the meeting and singing and prayer before
the study. Then each person went to a specific class to study other topics.
It was during these Wednesday meetings that I attended the “Sermon
on the Mount” class. My pastor taught a nine-month class on the “Sermon on the
Mount” for new Christians. It was a highlight of my week. It was a celebration to me!
I attended the class two years because I enjoyed it so much and I learned so much about being a Christian. I even purchased the 30 cassette
tapes of the class and listened to them several times through the years. I don’t
know what happened to them, but if I had them, I’d listen to them again.
Those are special memories that I will always consider with
fondness.
We love a reason to celebrate, even when it’s for the
tiniest moments, like making it halfway through the week. Do you have something
you do each week to celebrate? Something that inspires you, encourages you or
teaches you? It might be time to schedule a little celebrating into your week!
It’s always fun to add something different to your day. A
little fun. Some relaxing minutes. A change to make the day happier.
Give it a try! Celebrate Lillordag!
