Forced to rest

Sometimes I go, go, go and wear myself out. My body is screaming, “I need to rest,” but I just keep going, going going.

 

A couple years ago, I was forced to rest when I had to take a 6-month medical leave from work. This was very difficult for me. I wanted to go, I wanted to do, but all I could do was lie down. Despite my frustrations, I learned – and continue to learn – that rest is necessary. It rejuvenates, refreshes, and restores.

 

It also taught me a lot about myself, my friends, and God.

 

  • Rest doesn’t rob me of my value as a person.
  • Rest helps me to treasure the simple things in life.
  • Rest allows me to enjoy my true friends.
  • It gives me time to meditate on God and His word.
  • Rest grants me life.

 

Come alongside…How often do you rest? Have you been forced to rest? What are you learning about rest?

 

Big hugs,
Daphne
