JOURNAL/DON'T FORGET TO REST


“COME to me-ALL you who labor and are burdened-and I will give you REST” Matthew 11:28






LIVING in this life is tough work-and sometimes WORK in this world makes our lives very difficult-


OUR labors and burdens-whether physical-intellectual-or spiritual can take their tolls on other areas of our lives-God doesn't take away the burden of work


GOD doesn't promise “EASY” work-but he does PROMISE REST to those who UNITE the rest of
their lives with him-GOD does promise REST for those who stay in PRAYER


DEAR LORD master worker and CREATOR of the UNIVERSE-PLEASE USE US-PLESE help us to TOUCH ALL and help them find REST for their souls


it is A GREAT DAY to be ALIVE and to REST in GOD'S LOVE for us

DON’T FORGET TO REST




We work hard
We play hard
Sometimes it seems
We don’t have a minute
For ourselves


Sometimes-we need to
Take a step back-AND REST
Just let our bodies recharge
And our minds and our hearts
And our souls


For EVEN God did


“So God BLESSED the seventh day
And made it holy
Because on it
He rested from ALL the work
He had done in CREATION” Genesis 2:3


DON’T FORGET TO REST
Rest is a BLESSING
It allows our body-mind-and soul
A chance to recharge


Sometimes we can urge ourselves
To do one more thing
COMPLETE one more task
And it leads to another
And before you know it
WE ARE DRAINED


Take the time to rest
Whether it be
The Sabbath day
Like the Lord suggested
Or even just a minute here-a day there
Or a day or two there


“Remember the Sabbath day
By KEEPING it holy
Six days you shall labor
And do ALL your work
But the seventh day
IS a Sabbath day to the Lord your God” Exodus 20:8-10
(*It doesn’t have to be a Saturday or a Sunday)


Or even just some hours
To put your MIND at REST
And meditate on the
AWARENESS OF GOD’S PRESENCE
In your life


It does not matter
As long as
We do it-in some fashion


Dear Lord-we pray
That we NEVER FORGET you
And that we take a day
Or a few hours each day
To step back
And think about what’s important
In life


GOD-and FAMILY-and FAITH


For REST is a BLESSING
To help us
KEEP our priorities in order


We pray
That we work
AS you worked
And that we-like you


DON’T FORGET TO REST

Ps WITNESS 5-9-13




“Come to me-all you who are weary-and burdened-and I will give you REST
Take my yoke upon you-and learn from me-for I am meek and humble in heart
And you will find REST for your souls-
For my yoke is easy and my burden is LIGHT”
Matthew 11:28-30
