NATIONAL NAP DAY!

Today is National Nap Day and I'm too tired to take a nap!

How can that be!? 

For years I was the consummate napper!

These last couple of years weary prevails and sleep eludes?

Even with the Psalm 127:2 reminder, "Lord gives to His beloved, even in her sleep," I'll have to settle for being still with my eyes open.

Hopefully, His peace will come.

Thanks to a reader who shared other nappers. One has celebrated it in many states! First as a baby on a beach towel in Florida 

sand......

.....and today as a worn out West Elementary first grader creekside in his hammock at "his" Deep Creek beach.

Sweet naps on the National holiday!

 

National Napping Day!

National Napping Day! Who knew!! 

My college friends would think I did since I was such a napper. They were also convinced that my tombstone would be marked with, "She's only down for a quick nap!"

Educator friends thought scheduled naptime was the reason I taught kindergarten for so many years.

Google says this about Nap Day, "It's always the day after the date we "spring: forward"--- the return of Daylight Saving Time. 

How grateful I am the "Lord gives to His beloved, even in his/her sleep." (Psalm 127:2)

I know today is not National Napping Day but I've decided to celebrate ahead of time in case I miss it.

Yes....I'm still looking forward to this year's designated National nap Day, March 14, 2022.

NATIONAL NAP DAY!

Today is "National Nap Day"!

Who knew? I, and all the other consummate nappers in the nation, knew!

My friends often teased me that teaching kindergarten was my favorite assignment because 5 yr. olds have scheduled naptimes.

Baby Jack is enjoying nap time at the beach being lulled to sleep by the sounds of the ocean.

For all in our family, there is nothing quite like a "Big Water" nap.

If you don't have swooshing ocean waves to soothe you to sleep, meditate on these calming scriptures from God's word.

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe. (Psalm 4:8) 

God takes care of His own even while they sleep. (Psalm 127:2, CEV) 

When you lie down you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. (Proverbs 3:24)

Ah-h-h sweet sleep.....even in the middle of the day.
