Perfect Peace

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee." Isaiah 26:3
It is so good to just stop and rest in the Lord. Yesterday I got home, cleaned and shined every room in the house, lit some candles, put on a ham, some beans and cornbread. After getting dinner ready, I left it on warm, then went to the shower, then crawled into bed and stayed there sleeping ever so peacefully until it was time to go to work.
The day before I didn't sleep at all and after working all night, I was ready for a time of rest and relaxation. I called my husband and let him know I wasn't planning on getting up for dinner, I was going to sleep until I had to get up, so no one interrupted me. He and the boys ate dinner, cleaned the kitchen and had bible study. I never heard a sound. So now I am refreshed and ready to go back into battle.

You said two great things....
Ham and Sleep!
Love them both!
Nothing refreshes like refreshing sleep and trust in God.
Thanks for the reminder about resting in the Lord. He's been great to us, and today we head to Dallas from Wichita. Tomorrow to Waco and back to Dallas. So, we're in yout territory!
Bless you. I'll keep your verse with me today!
Since I retired I've been listening to the sound of birds singing in the early morning. When I worked, I'd be up at 4:00 am, and miss everything. It is wonderful to be able to rest fully now. And, your peace in the Lord is great comfort.
Hi Dana,
Thank you for the compliment and I'm glad to hear you are rested and ready to put on your armour once again and fight HIS battle
Dana, how I loved getting caught up. You encourage me. Here's a quote I liked "people may not remember everything you said, but they will remember how you made them feel." I feel filled with the Holy Spirit, thanks!
