My dad used to call me and my brothers "lazybones" (the term in the NRSV translation) every once in a while when it was "the most beautiful day of the year outside" and we were in playing Nintendo. Just get up a DO something is all it meant and he was always right. Playing baseball or football was always more fun once we got ourselves off the couch and out the door.
Sometimes we just need a reminder to get off the couch. I need that a lot (literally in some cases). I get caught up in the daily and weekly grind and I forget about or postpone the long term plans. Unlike the grasshopper though, its not like the daily stuff is playing the fiddle and whatever, so why do I get enveloped in that stuff? Its more like I am the ant doing the daily chores but getting lost in it. Either way, I should take more opportunities to "rise from my sleep!"
