Naps….
I have never really been a nap taker…I remember riding gathering cows or checking fences with my dad as a child. We would stop at lunch time, eat our lunch, the my dad would lay back, cover his eyes with his red handkerchief, take a ten minute nap and then on we would go. I watched him, wondering how he could do that so fast while I couldn’t. He did that all of his life until his passing…quick naps…
This last year I have learned or tried to learn about that fast relaxing nap. Mine come in spurts, with this last illness, they been easier…as I have been doing some major healing…1-3 hour-long naps…not the quick ones my dad took…
The nap/rest in itself is healing…and our bodies need it…I am so thankful God gave us sleep…Jesus needed it himself when he was here on earth…
I get weary at times not just tired, but weary…then this promise of completion comes to mind…God has a plan and He will finish it in each of us…
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
