Are you weary or burdened?
There are so many burdens that threaten to overwhelm us. So much pain and hurt is shared within the walls of our office. The freedom to lay it all down and rest is priceless. Tom is so much better at self care than I.
Like a two year old fighting sleep I struggle with rest.
Slowly, I am learning. Investing time in the Word and in prayer lightens the load. Recently I realized I was neglecting the vital to focus on the important. I was doing more than I was being. I was ignoring the invitation to rest.
May you rest in Him. And with Him. And on Him.
Rest is vital!
Do you choose the important over what is vital?

I love rest! Sometimes, I like to wake up and stay in bed for awhile. I look out the window, I read something from the Bible or A Course in Miracles, I snuggle with the dog, I stretch and yawn. I get up so refreshed when I don't rush first thing.
ReplyDeleteI actually sighed when I saw this photo. I am a BIG FAN of rest and it is SO important in our society to slow down and take a breath. Great post!
