Thank you for stopping by today, Beatriz…I would agree that, often, guilt of all I can be doing keeps me from getting the rest that is completely ok and should be guilt-free. Here’s to both of us getting some good rest soon! Blessings to you.

So, first of all, I LOVE the phrase, “Bossy List of Things To Do”…I’m crediting you with that one. 😉 I think what you said is true…losing ground, fear of missing out…those things can make it difficult to rest. I’m glad we could have “coffee” together too, friend…you are a blessing.

Thank you for stopping by, Deanna…isn’t it so true that, often, we think rest isn’t important at all when it really is? Praying you get some good down time soon. Have a great weekend, too!

Hi Mel,
I love that you remind us that it is “ok to just rest.” I can go for days, even weeks, and maybe even months, before I crash. When I crash, I cannot move even though I plan to do it all. The thing is, when I take that time for myself, guilt creeps in and it tells me that I should be up taking care of the world. I know that the Lord knows my heart, and I should be relying on His word rather than the whispers of guilt over my time to rest and recover. Thank you for that reminder!

Thank you, friend…such a good reminder that my worship doesn’t have to be in a church. And I am feeling better, too. Blessings and love to you, Amy…hopping over to your place now!

Oh, how much I get that. I usually just keep going and going and the somehow crash when rest becomes absolutely necessary. Thank you for your sweet words and for stopping by today, Ginger! Blessings to you!

I wish that, too…oh, friend, someday it WILL happen! And I’ll have coffee, an extra blanket, Nutella, and cookie butter all waiting for you! (By the way, we haven’t really discussed the wonders of cookie butter just yet with the GSDT…but I think it might be better than Nutella. And if you haven’t tried it, you need to. Soon.) 😉 Love you, friend…so thankful for you!
