Day 9

"Rest in the shade of this tree while water is brought to wash your feet." Genesis 18:4

I like this verse.  It just reminds me of being exhausted physically in times past, and how good it is to be cared for.  God is like that.  He tells us to rest in the shade of the tree.  And, He washes our feet, too.  We feel renewed and refreshed when we spend time with Him each day.

Took the day off from running and eating, so it was a great day of resting.  Got an awesome nap, too, and realized I need more of them.

Visited with some wonderful childhood friends I hadn't seen in a few years, and it was just great to laugh together.  Visited with my cousin, Sherryl, on Friday night.  Hadn't seen her in over thirty years, and it was great to reconnect.  All these ladies are so beautiful--inside and out.  I'm grateful to God for them.

Now, off to lay me down to sleep.  I'll leave you with a favorite Steven Curtis Chapman song, Still Listening, in the link below:

Sweet dreams to you all.
