Time for Rest
| Posted at 04:40 PM on August 08, 2009 |
A time for rest should be found each day
To be refreshed and restored,
To relax, reflect, meditate and pray,
To spend precious time with the Lord.
Taking a break from work for a while
To enjoy some moments of rest
Can help you face the day with a smile,
Ready to do your best.
Rest is good for the body and soul,
A time to relax and let go,
To understand God is in control
And a peaceful contentment to know.

Connie, rest is so needful! Most of us rush through life from this activity to that activity. We need to slow down and refresh our minds. Quiet moments with God accomplish that.
Again you have presented the truth in a beautiful poetic way.
Thank you!

Your grandson is precious and tired. Enjoy him while he's young for they grow quickly.
I rest because my granddaughter wears me out. I agree that rest is very important.

Oh to be so innocent again and to have such a peaceful rest. You have put it so eloquently in poetic form once again expressing what Father God afffords to each of us, A rest in Him. The meditation, prayer, and thankful praise moments are so important. Thankyou!

Amen Connie, rest is always good. You are so right we often get caught up in the "busyyness" of this world that we neglect our need for rest. There is a time when the Lord will slow us down to get our attention. I know He has done this to me. Beautiful poem my friend. God bless
