A Day of Rest

Yes, the Lord´s day is often a day of rest for me from exercise. Sometimes I don´t get to rest rest though. Those in the ministry know that often Sundays become more of a day of work than rest.

Today, I am a bit heavy. We had an unexpected visit and she shared her story. We have been praying for her and she finally opened up. It is a very heavy story. Please pray for our friend and her family.

I am very thankful that the Lord knows our hearts and He can carry our burdens.



The Lord says

"Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest, Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30
So today, may you turn your burdens over to the Only One Who can take them. May you find true rest in Jesus.
