Today my mom had some energy when she woke up, which was wonderful. After she got ready for her day, she did some cleaning up and dusting. Then she got tired. I encouraged her to lay down and relax. She was afraid she would go to sleep. I told her that was perfectly fine if she went to sleep for a little while. Her body required rest, so that is what should happen. She was serving her body the best by listening to what it needed. Later, she read today’s reflection from “Jesus Calling”. It talked about the need to rely on God in order to love those around us and serve them. It said as Jesus speaking, “Take time to rest in the Love-Light of My Presence,” as well as quoting Matthew 11:28,  “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” It was a very fitting reading for both of us.

I Found God today in His reminder to rest in Him.
