DAY OF REST

3/27/09 Homecoming--it might be brief but already has been blessed. 
Arrived greeted by “Welcome Home” balloons on mailbox, yellow ribbons around trees and pink roses w/ “Dotsy” ribbon sitting on the kitchen table, lots of hugs, cards, soup, calls and visits----love feels so good. 
Stayed in pjs all day as this became a day of rest---I spent all day easing into my day and decided not to feel guilty about it as I am now about to ease into bed for a long night’s rest…..knowing true rest comes from Him. 
  • Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him. (Psalm 37:7) 
  • Return to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. (Psalm 116:7) 
  • One hand full of rest is better than two fists full of labor and striving after wind. (Ecclesiastes 4:6)
  •  …..and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it: and you will find rest for your souls (Jeremiah 6:16) 
  •  “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matt. 11:27-30) 
  • In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety. (Psalm 4:8) 
 Goodnight.
