“Okay,” I conceded. “I'll take a day off next week.” I thought that
would settle it and with any good luck by next week she will have 
forgotten this conversation. 

This just points out one of the major differences between husbands and
wives. When it comes to conversations, wives have total recall of every 
conversation they have ever had. 

Of course, I don't know if my wife has total recall on our
conversations. There have been times when I thought she was making up 
what I said 13 years ago. I just had no way to prove it. 

“Why not take a day off this week?” she queried. 

“Let me think about it,” I tried stalling her, “and I'll get back with
you on the day.” 

“How about tomorrow? It's a day,” she replied. 

Well, she had me there. Tomorrow was a day this week. My problem is I
don't like to make snap judgments on things affecting my schedule. 

Looking back on the conversation, I can see my mistake. I hesitated. In
my many years as a husband, I have noted whenever I hesitated, my wife 
assumed it was a sign of agreeing with her proposal. 

“It's settled then,” she said. “Tomorrow you will be taking the day
off.” 

This was an invitation I could not refuse. I love it when a plan comes
together and I felt compelled to go along with the plan. 

The Bible offers a wonderful invitation. “Come unto me, all ye that
labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon 
you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall 
find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” 
(Matthew 11:28-30.) 

My advice is to take God up on his marvelous offer, today, not tomorrow.
