Thankful for: Rest! (Genesis 2:2)
As the day draws to a close, we often look back at our days. Some are filled with many activities--jobs, hobbies, family time, shopping, exercise, friends, etc--but some are not so busy. Regardless, as the day draws to a close, I look forward to rest. I think upon the example that God set for us in Genesis. As He created the beautiful Heavens and Earth, and everything in them, He looked at His creation that he created in six days, and then he took a rest on the seventh day. Our "seventh day" doesn't come often sometimes. It seems that we go and go, but I am thankful for those moments of rest that I am able to find. Whether it is 30 minutes, 5 hours, or a whole day, I am thankful for the rest that God allows me to enjoy. We need to make sure we take time for rest. God rested, and so should we. Be thankful for your moments of rest!
