Resting Easy

                                                                            Everyday is a brand new day,
                                                                            everyday is a journey.





How couldst thou hang upon the cross,
  To whom a weary hour is loss?
  Or how the thorns and scourging brook,
  Who shrinkest from a scornful look?
J. KEBLE.



Rest is something that none of us know how to do. We juggle multiple tasks like a professional, but only for a time. I have seen through my Chronic Illness Group that sleep and rest is something far out of reach. Good sleep and good rest. Eventually, our bodies give out either by exhaustion or sickness.

I can always tell when my body is exhausted and rest is required. I don't fight it. I've long accepted that I no longer have the stamina I once did. It doesn't take much for me to be feeling worn out. 

Emily came into my room this morning inquiring about this weekend's activities. Well, Farmers Market on Saturday and Church on Sunday. That's all? Yep, that's all. I totally understand her confusion. There is always somewhere to go or something that needs to be done. Well, not this weekend. This weekend, it's all about home and rest. Believe me, there's plenty to be done here, but more in a leisurely pace.

Matthew 11:28-30 

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

What are the rest of you doing this weekend? As for me and my house, we will be resting!

Have a blessed day everyone.
