Sometimes the best thing may seem like the least productive thing.
Humans tend to think if we’re not doing something, changing something, being a catalyst for something, then we are not productive, not useful and are ineffective.
A friend told me he heard someone say, “The most spiritual thing people can do sometimes is take a nap. Resting shows your trust in God and not in what you can do.”
I think those words are stellar.
People need pillows. People need rest. People need naps.
Rest brings recharge for the body. Your mind gets some peace while your body renews itself and cells get regenerated and such. Sleep and rest are a good thing for finite human beings in rechargeable body vehicles. I’m sorry, I just think it’s funny to say “rechargeable body vehicles.”
Anyhoos, rest yourself today. God neither sleeps nor slumbers. Well, he kinda doesn’t need to…he is God. But he does model rest for us. After he made the world in six days, he took the seventh day off and rested. He rested. If he does it, then I for sure know that I need to do it and I haven’t even made a planet or an animal like a kangaroo like he has.
Love the wit behind the wisdom! You’ve got a knack for that, girlfriend.
I hear Mel’s voice loud and clear in that last paragraph! LOL
Hahahahaha Sam!
I often quote the same, “The most spiritual thing people can do sometimes is take a nap. ” But who is it from? Thanks for your beautiful post; I’m so happy to find your blog!
Kara thank you for your words. Glad you found rgis blog too. Feel free to follow. The friend who shared that quote with me got it from a seminary professor.
