I’ve been too exhausted to plan a rest period. I didn’t know whom to turn to for respite. Home life demands my active involvement in every area. Occasionally I take a step back, but I hold my breath knowing it is only temporary.
I keep going. Like a soldier. Tired to the bone but not giving up. My heart aches, my mind cloudy. My faith deep but covered with dust.
I long for rest and o resent my family. They take and rely on me and lean and look for what I give daily.
But this Sunday night our neighbor offered to take the girls to school the next two weeks. And bring them back those who finish at 12. That’s Ivy.
They pick them up in front of the house as they live across the street. He is a good calm steady driver. What a blessing.
Can you believe I was tempted to say no to such offer? Just because o go swimming at 8. But this week I’ll swim later. I’ll take the morning to reset. Refocus. Work on projects without a lot of breaks of time in the mornings.
God is good. and this grace of rest in the morning is the very best alternative to my driving. God is so generous. So wonderful and thoughtful and in control. I can rest in His care. I am precious and I am taken care of. I am open to receive.
