Really

Before jumping to this week's edition of our a2z meme, I want to invite you over to Seekerville, my favorite writing blog, where I'm guest posting today. I sure could use your moral support. Really. The rattling you're hearing is my knees knocking together. Really.

Ordinary Lives. From a 2 z 4 u & me

Now, for this week's installment of our a 2 z 4 u & me meme,



the letter R.


Okay, I have another confession to make. (Why do I feel like this a2z meme wrings these confessions from me at least once a month? sigh.)

I'm envious of my animals.
Really.
I am.

Here's why...




See what Tippy's doing? Lazing on the bench on the deck.
Guess what I've not done?





And just look at FlufferNut and Gracie.
Sleeping in the sunshine.
sigh.





Gracie. Gracie. Gracie.
I may never be as...graceful as Gracie
(at least I sure hope I'm not!)
but I'm so envious.





Even Puppers takes time from her playing to roam and smell the flowers...





and my fish have it good.


You guys all know how it goes:
Run. RUn. RUN.
There's no let up from it.
There's very little rest in our lives.
But I know where to find that elusive, much sought after desire.
"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you REST." ~Matthew 11:28

Rest is found in Christ alone.
And He tells us how... "Come to Me"
It's that simple sometimes.
I don't know about you, but I need simple.

Really.


If you're joining us for the a 2 z 4 u & me meme by posting on your blog this week about the letter R, be sure to add your name and the link to that particular post in the linky gadget here.



And don't forget to come visit me at Seekerville! =)

  5. Shelley, resting in Christ IS the best rest, isn't it? Something we need far more than we realize sometimes.

    Amy, you and me, both! Physical exhaustion is more easily handled when we're spiritually resting.
