1356) Having a puppy in the house has reminded me that rest is a valuable thing. Cayce (pronounced K-C) is always on the move and before the roosters even stretch and yawn, he’s up, ready for action. He has become a better sleeper at night but I remember the first several weeks after we brought him home. Rest was a thing of the past.

Life often shoves things in our way that thwarts rest. The thing is, circumstances can keep us from getting sleep, but it attacks our feelings and thoughts, too.

Matthew 11:28 tells us God provides rest. Sometimes it comes as, I got this for you; now rest. At other times, it’s Trust me. I will take care of and comfort you.

Knowing God is the source of rest, I can take him at his word and receive it. With Cayce…. well, maybe he’ll grow out of his super-charged lifestyle…. I know….. Right!
