Matthew 11: 28-30

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

“Rest up “, I thought.
“Take the weight off your feet”,
I said to myself.
You’ve be walking for a long time
You’ve still a long way to go.
Your carrying a lot of baggage.

Its good to take time to rest
especially when you’ve been through so much.
Its good to take your shoes off,
put your bag down
take a deep breath
have a drink of water.
the thought continued.
You can rest here for a while

Lord,
Resting is a wonderful feeling it gives you space
time to think
time to sleep
time to plan the next stage of the journey.

Yet  time  is a paradox
it never seems to rest
time moves on
with or without a plan
hands turn
numbers are past
days become years
years become stories
stories shape lives
lives touch lives.
Rest up I thought
I heard You say,
let time stand still
take a rest
and touch eternity.
