Dear God,

What a gift rest is!  It settles the mind, clears the soul, and relaxes the body.  Sleep comes because the body, mind, and spirit feel blessed.

What a wonderful day with family!  Fixing a special breakfast, sitting at the cold, windy, beautiful Maine coastal beach, eating ice cream at our favorite ice cream store, enduring lobster fest drippings in my kitchen and dining room (I don't like lobster, clams and crawly things), playing a silly card game with the whole clan, and finally crawling into a sleeping bag in the tent for the night with my granddaughters provided me with opportunity galore for rest to come.

As I ponder the gift and the giver, I am full of gratitude.

Loving God,
thank you
for rest,
for peace,
for family,
and for love
revealed over
and over again.

Love, Andrea
