Thankful Thursday ~ Deep Sleep

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!”
~ Psalm 100:4 (ESV)

Today I just want to give thanks for deep sleep. I don’t function well when I don’t get good sleep. I have had back issues for quite some time. Guess what? All we needed was a new mattress.

This past weekend, my husband and I went online to find a good price for a mattress. We knew what we didn’t want (a mattress with pillow-top). We went to just the right place. They did not have a huge selection, but had exactly what we needed. And we got it on the some day 🙂 …

Over the last couple of nights, I have had some good sleep and actually feel refreshed when I get up. My back is getting better too!!!

Yeah, the world looks different when the body is rested. And for for my soul I rest deeply in God’s Word.

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us by leaving your link to your Thankful Thursday blog below.

Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: sometimes we need to make some adjustments to find rest.

Thankful Thursday ~ Vacation

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your flesh
and refreshment to your bones.
~ Proverbs 3:5-8 (ESV ~ emphasis mine)

Oh, what a blessing not to have to get up at 4:30am getting ready for work. Although it does not take me 2 hours to get ready in the morning, I like to have a cup a coffee and meet with God. At any rate, vacationing this week (at home) by relaxing, reading, and refreshing body and soul.

Although I had plans to leave town, it is really nice to take my sweet time in the morning. Oh, and reading the marvelous book “Red Ink” brings to mind how truly blessed I am to live in a country where I can mention the name of Zhu Yesu Jidu without being thrown into jail. I can read my Shengjing in public if I need encouragement.
