It was a Monday morning and I was scheduled off from my job. I was so happy! I had just came through the weekend so all my work at home was finished and I was just going to spend the day relaxing.
I put on a comfy pair of sweats and shirt and was going to focus on complete rest. I found myself curled up on a chair out on the deck. I had in my hands a wonderful book I was anxious to finish and a glass of soda on the stand.
I started reading and found myself having to read the same lines over and over. I just could not concentrate. My mind was mulling over things I could be doing and wandering if my work was surviving without me? I thought how ridiculus this was! One day of relaxation, and I can not even enjoy it.
At that moment I dropped my head back against the chair and felt the sun radiating down on me. It was so warm, comforting and yes relaxing!
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." Matthew 11:29
But Lord, I just don't feel like I have the strength to let go sometimes......
"The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace." Psalm 29:11
I was startled by the sound of my book hitting the deck. Here I had drifted off into a light sleep. I sat up and repositioned myself thanked God for His goodness and finally finished what I started
My Book!
