What's to like about a free weekend at home? All sorts of things, as this top 10 list shows.Between visiting our kids’ families and speaking engagements, weekends at home are becoming increasingly rare. Here are 10 reasons to love the occasional weekend at home.

10. There’s something so luxurious about 2 days of mostly unscheduled time.

9.   A free weekend means spending 5 days looking forward to sleeping in on Saturday morning…though it rarely happens.

8.   A free weekend means spending 5 days looking forward to a Sunday afternoon nap, which usually does happen.

7.  Free days means time to something spontaneous like going to a movie or out to eat–the latter being more likely than the former.

6.  An open Saturday means the opportunity to check an item off the “to-do someday” list. At the top of the list this March…spraying chickweed in the flowerbed or cleaning the attic.

5.  A weekend at home means getting a leg up on blog posts for the upcoming week.

4.  Ditto for next week’s cooking and baking.

3.  The kids are more likely to call to chat about their weeks when they know we’re home for a couple days.

2.  The Man of Steel is a nice person to be with for a weekend.

1.  A free weekend means we’ll go to worship at our home church. Great music, great fellowship, great preaching. Who could ask for anything more?
