Our need for rest is something we have to accept as reality, and we can't compare ourselves with others or with our wished-for image of ourselves. We have to live one moment at a time with God.<br /><br />I've been so thankful to have a restful few days, and am trying not to get anxious about busy periods coming in the future. Lord, have mercy!GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-42174138259448198382016-05-23T16:53:06.001-04:002016-05-23T16:53:06.001-04:00Thanks Becki, I really appreciate your words here....Thanks Becki, I really appreciate your words here.

In some ways I relate very much. I'm in a sort of retirement place (not from paid work, but from 20 years of homeschooling). I wrestle with how I spend my days, but I am so thankful for this period of time to experience a quieter time and place - even when it makes me uncomfortable - even when I feel lonely. Managing days and thinking about hopes and goals is so very different now, but it is still a challenge. Anyway... I've read through recent posts and I wanted to say I appreciate what you have to say and it is thought provoking to me.Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.com
