My rest is in You, Lord.
Rest is not
a lie-in until noon.
My rest is in You, Lord.
Rest is not
a week’s holiday on the beach.
My rest is in You, Lord.
Rest is not
an undisturbed night’s sleep.
My rest is in You, Lord.
Rest is
taking a moment to remember.
To look.
To
appreciate.
To ponder.
To ponder.
To take in
the changing colour of my children’s hair, bright at the end of Summer.
To take in
the swishing, swirling sounds of the shell my six-year-old thrusts at my ear.
To absorb
the 30 second hugs from my husband before he heads off to a day of activity
To breathe
and speak life and calm out loud when things get crazy.
Rest is an
absorbing of moments in amongst the activity.
And forcing
myself to remember that
My rest is in You, Lord.
Beautiful! Taking those moments is so important when we are busy Moms. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love this. To me, rest is breathing deeply, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a relief to think of rest as the moments we take time to savor instead of a prolonged period of inactivity. That's a refreshing approach. Great post!
