Feb. Week 1 Day 3: Choose Rest for the Rest

Short tempered...Little patience...Grouchy...Irritated...Sound familiar?

If you have ever been a new mommy or been around one, you know that new mommies can be very cranky and irritable because the poor things get little sleep. A new mommy does not have a choice. It is part of being a new mommy. But the rest of us (unless it is due to a medical condition) have no excuse not to get rest so we are not cranky.

For the sake of your loved ones, coworkers and friends, please choose to get the rest you need. Yes there may be times that due to sickness or emergency keep you from a good night sleep. But most nights you just have to choose to get rest.

Please choose to get rest for all those others you may interact with today. It is hard to reflect Christ when you are snapping at everyone you meet.

Tonight choose to go to bed and get a full night rest for the sake of others. And we will say thank you when you do.
