Remember to Rest

This past Monday morning, I woke up and had so much planned to do around our little home but little did I know how exhausted I was. I did, however,
managed to get one load of laundry done but before you knew it, I was laid out on the couch as Lena watched her Veggie Tales. I was in and out of sleep, she had no problem with that, she stayed on the couch and watched her videos, not bothered at all. Thank God.
After finally getting off the couch, I remember thinking to myself, "Why am I so tired?". It did not take long for me to get an answer, I love how God reminds us quickly of His Word. The Lord reminded me I needed to "REST" something we sometimes forget that is commanded for us to do "Remember the Sabbath Day and to keep it Holy".....a wonderful fourth commandment. I giggled to myself and remembered how I just spoke that to our little kiddos in Children's Church. I clearly forgot that Sunday was a fun filled and busy day for me, pretty much the whole week was but once that weekend started, it was fast and especially a full day for me.
So, just giving you heads up and many of you know this but just a sweet reminder: As your week is in full course, are you taking a day to rest? I would encourage you to not get caught up and forget to rest.
Our little ones in Children's Church are learning this wonderful commandment this month: "What is the Fourth commandment?" "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy."
As always work is good because God worked and rest is good because God rested. :)
