Rest

I am just finishing up the busiest 10 days I have had in a while. My husband has been traveling for work the past 7 of 10 days and to say the least I am a little tired from going it alone with my two little children. I have been preparing for a bible study this week and preparing for work tommorrow and inbetween taking my little ones to all their activities. Needless to say I am due for a little rest.

How convenient that I am in the book of Matthew and Jesus clearly provides an answer to my fatigue: Matthew 11:28,29 and 30- Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you....For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Here I thought rest would come when my husband returned and all my preparations were done, but God was there all along waiting to provide me rest.

Thankyou Lord that is just that easy to recieve rest. I am so thankful for your word and that it never changes. Help me to seek you first rather then lean on my own understanding(or lack of).
