30 Days of Thanks-Day 6

I'm very thankful for sleep. There is nothing like a good night's rest or even a good power nap! A good night of sleep can make all the difference in attitude and how your day goes. I'm also very blessed to have a comfortable bed to sleep in when I realize there are millions of people all over the world who don't even have a place to sleep tonight. 

The older I get and the busier I get, I realize how precious the time of rest is. I think we often forget that rest is essential to our lives and take for granted that we need rest to function. Scripture says God rested on the seventh day. I don't think it was because God needed to rest but so that God could fully appreciate what was created and to enjoy the creation.

If we don't take time to stop and rest, we become so busy going and going that we don't take time to stop and appreciate and enjoy what we are experiencing in our lives.

So today I am thankful for sleep, not only because it gives me rest, but also it serves as a reminder to appreciate and enjoy life.
