I actually did some REAL resting today and it made me realize that I don't do it often enough. I put copelynn down for her afternoon nap and literally prayed out loud as I walked to my bedroom "God, please let her sleep at least an hour...plllleeeaaassseee" because the circles under my eyes were feeling too large to not lay down myself.
Ah, it felt so nice to climb in bed and shut my eyes. No where to be, no one to tend to. For once in a long time I actually woke before miss copelynn did, thank you Jesus.
For me REAL rest is a quiet dark bedroom to lay down in, maybe not even sleep, but just lay and take a few deep breaths and do absolutely nothing. Or a glass of tea and a book. Or a hot shower at night in candle light.
What is rest for you? Do you take advantage of the small snipets of time in your day to do some REAL resting? I'm definitely a better me when I do,
