Rest is easy!

Its hard to rest when you have so many things to do. And then when you do rest, you spend that rest time thinking of the next item on your daily agenda. This is what we do, as women! Right? (Genesis 2:2And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made). The bible tells us that on the 7th day of creation, God rested. It does not say that He rested in the morning of the 7th day or two hours of the 7th day; BUT that He rested the entire day. I believe God spent that 7th day enjoying the many things He had just created. Rest is easy. All it takes is just deciding to be lazy for once and doing absolutely nothing. You'll find that you'll pay close attention to the little things you hardly see and you'll actually have some good ol' family time or me-time. Some practical things:

• Take a walk without your IPOD or your cell phone
• Eat breakfast, and then go back to bed
• Watch TV without folding the clean laundry
• Take a good nap without reading first
• Read your bible without thinking of your next sermon
• Don't get out of your PJs so quickly on a Saturday morning. Its ok!
• Don't schedule anything for an entire weekend... (this is a hard one!)

We spend a lot of our time working and paying for where we live, what we drive, and the many bills we have and don't spend enough time enjoying where the money goes. REST is easy! We can drive out the overwhelming spirit , if we choose not to bombard our mind with much. Do you agree?
