:: Rest ::

Rest.................


A simple four letter word that brings about so much more than we can imagine.
It's what we need in our crazy lives in order to keep our head above water.
It's what rejuvenates us, refreshes the soul.

It can be as simple as enjoying a hot cuppa for five minutes while children are distracted,
Turning your phone on silent, off the hook for a twenty minute power nap.
If your extremely blessed a full day/s without any distractions at all.
Freedom to do things at your own pace, spend some time with Him,
read a book, do some baking, watch a movie, the list is endless.

This is me today....
My In-Laws have come and taken my boys on a fun filled adventure day so that I may have some much needed REST, before our newest munchkin makes his arrival.
After quite a few days of whinging, fights and little attitudes and quite a few tears (from my side) this day has been welcomed with opening arms and many thanks.

Today I am thanking Jesus that he answers prays even if we do not directly ask, He just knows.
Thankful for those that listen to His small prompting and obey.

Yes I have already enjoyed my five minute Hot cuppa,
I will be turning my phones off for a twenty minute or more power nap
and will be pottering around the house enjoying the quietness.

Praying you are getting your much needed rest, whichever way that looks like.

    I always feel lost in an empty house, and have to force myself to enjoy it, hehe! Glad you got some much needed rest, before the craziness of three little ones hits! xxxx
