Sleeping

Why did God invent sleeping? Why couldn't we all be robots to keep going and going and going like the Energizer bunny so we can accomplish what we want to? God didn't need to rest....why do I....if I was created in His image? I really think that's why we need to rest, because He did step back on the 7th day. Because he knew that ever since the fall, things were subject to friction and so parts wear down and need refreshment. That is what rest is for. Personally I look forward to Saturdays to sleep in...because the work week is so long!!! Thank You Father for sleep. Thank You Father for rest.

The Hills are Alive

Autumn leaves make such beautiful colors before falling from branches, whether the trees are tall or small. Crimson, golden, canary yellow, brown, all mixing with the evergreens and sandstone, limestone or whatever colors may permeate rocks in the mountains. Beautiful drives, colors, causing breathtaking steps and drives. What a day it is when the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the air is crisp and the mountains are proudly displaying trees mingled in the rocks, and wildlife frolicking. Makes me want to jump for joy and break out in song, "The Hills are Alive"

REST

At different points in time I remember stopping all activity just to breath and soak in some much needed R&R. There was after working hard in high school and getting into Tulane. I slept until noon, the longest I've ever slept. Then there was after graduation from Tulane. I put the books up for a while and enjoyed Christmas parties with my parents. (I graduated in December or 1981). Then there was after tutoring a fellow student in the Morehead State University Veterinary Technician program. We pulled an "all nighter" and we were exhausted. It was just before spring break and a friend picked me up at school to take me to the airport in Lexington, KY. But not before I slept on a wonderful feather bed until the Bugs Bunny cartoons were long gone. And this weekend is no exception. resting and not even thinking of work. Everyone needs this from time to time. God took the 7th day to rest and show all that we need this. May we cherish these moments in our life when we rest.

Thinking happy thoughts!!!

Think positively! If you call yourself a Christian and complain 99% of the time can you truly call yourself a Christian. Christ was pure, He walked, He spoke in love. He did not complain when He was hanging on the cross....When He did confront someone it was to make the point to have more faith or more patience. May God always love us and forgive us when we forget the holiest of examples of how to walk.
