Rest is as spiritually necessary as faith, hope or love--so reminded of it in this moment. Backed into my garage today, left my dog outside overnight last night and hung up on my husband--garage can be fixed, no harm came to the dog and my husband has already forgiven me...thank goodness! These are just a few minor irritations; I know there are many struggling with relationships, circumstances and situations so much heavier to bear than these. I read Matthew 11: 28-30 today; it was so comforting to me in a fresh and new way. At first glance, I thought, "Really Lord?" This does not make any sense—if it is a yoke, you carry it and it isn’t easy and there are some burdens that can take you out. An oxymoron doesn't make sense but then again it does, for example, God reminded me that a minor crisis makes me clearly confused when I don't get enough rest. He is my Father and hears my silent screams and my loud whispers; I am being properly ridiculous when I think he doesn't want the best for me. Yoke is easy; burden is light is not old news--it is the good news. Going to rest--love you all! This is Tuesday talk.

Rest well in the good news. Good rest and good people around us regenerate our lights, so we can continue to let them shine. Not far from going off to recharge my own batteries ;)
