Verse for the Week

Rest. Quiet. Stillness. It is hard to come by as a mom. When it happens take advantage of it and marinade in it.  My days are filled with many things but I long for rest both physically and mentally. How about you? How do you find it? Or do you create it by setting up times for yourself? This verse has not left me for two weeks, I keep coming across it and it keeps coming into my thoughts.

Matthew 11:28-30

Come to me, all you who are burdened 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.

or this is what I pray:

I come to you Lord, burdened and you give me rest. I will take up your yoke and learn from you, for you are gentle and humble in heart, and I will find rest for my soul.
