REST

 

Matthew 11:28-29
 Then Jesus said,
 "Come to me, all of you who are
 weary and carry heavy burdens and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you.
 Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle,
 and you will find rest for your souls.




On Sunday it is suppose to be a time for rest. Shoot on Sundays, that is when I get most of my stuff done. I go to church. I wash the clothes. I check my budget for the week. I prepare for the week ahead. I clean the bathroom. Sign off on my kid's homework.  Not just on Sunday, but I literally work everyday of the week. Now that I think about it, I might be working in my sleep. (smile) Sometimes I feel guilty for taking time out for me. Sometimes I feel like that wilted, sorry looking, dead rose.


So yesterday, I got everything done, that I would have done today. I am carving out some time today, to revive and restore my mind, spiritually, physically, and mentally! I am restoring my soul, so I can be full of energy, and rest my weary mind.  I am resting so I can meet each daily demand with a fresh outlook.  And perhaps, I can look like this living, vibrant, and full rose!



Happy Sunday to you all.
 With a day a rest of ahead,
and big pat on the back for us,
 because we are growing beyond belief!

God bless. Crystal
