EE--emotional exhaustion

6/10/09 Emotional Depletion
What is it? How do you handle it today? How can you recover?
These questions came to mind today as early this morning we put Josh and his fiancé, Megan, on a United Airways plane for NYC and then loaded all six Texans in the big Suburban to return to their home in Allen. At 8:30 a.m. we were spent---I guess that is emotional depletion. How did we handle it? We started with a 2-hour nap.
How will we ever recover---with all that lies ahead with Mommar’s care as well as handling financial affairs that require close following a death. Today’s “Jesus Calling” entry said, “Rest in Me…Give your mind a break from planning and trying to anticipate what will happen. Pray continually.” Well there’s the answer. That little devotional book continues to have the BIG answers for right where I am in life.
So…………more prayer it is---and I feel a second nap coming on.
