DON'T FORGET TO REST

WITNESS 5-9-13 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 Robert P.
