Rest well...

Rest well.  I share those words with our children each night. Although they are adults and not living at home, I still care about them very much.  I also realize how important rest is for their health.  I began thinking.

My Heavenly Father wants me to rest, too.  It's not easy for me to do that with insomnia, many projects to do, so much going on in life and not enough time to get everything done.  Yet He didn't suggest that we rest when it is convenient.  He said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."  (Matthew 11: 28)

I need to rest well...in Him.  I cannot walk this journey alone.  I cannot accomplish everything by myself.  I cannot carry the concerns, heartaches and responsibilities on my own.  I need to listen to Him, lean on Him, trust in Him...and rest.  I am amazed.  I am grateful.  I am not alone.<3~thl
