~Taking Naps And Refreshing Ones Self~
I have had this thought in my heart for many weeks;
I truly think we are living in a culture of crash and burn!
No one takes time to rest and refresh their hearts and the mind for;
Even a few minutes in any given day!
Napping is lost in a world of go and do...
It always reminds me of the hamster on that little wheel going
Nowhere really fast.
There seems to be a bit of guilt for needing or wanting to take a little rest
20-30 minutes if possible!
And not everyday, dear ones, but as needed!
Some seasons and days are just more trying than others!
But in times of undo stress or winter days, or blazing heat;
We need to stop and rest in a comfy chair or couch or even your bed.
It use to be very common for a home or a bedroom to have
A lounge chair.
Keeping this in mind, we can have a little pillow and blankets handy,
For such a quick cat nap...
We are so busy are minds can become stressed and cluttered;
Learning to take stock in a few moments of down time can refresh
Not grouchy or cranky!
Those character traits are the very reason we put our little ones
(You remember the attitude of that child that happened to miss nap time)
When I look at how even God allows His creation to rest!
Winter comes and plants rest in a dormant state.
Even some wildlife migrates or hibernates.
Take time and read and put your feet up!
I was deeply troubled to read an article on how many deaths happen
Because drivers fall asleep at the wheel.
Anyone who suffers from insomnia can tell you the disruption
So if we can stop feeling guilty and rest more often'
We will have greater clarity and a kinder disposition.
Are You A Napper...
Blessings, Living From Glory To Glory
