Rest Lessons

Rest is intriguing.  It is the topic I want to learn about.  Here, my granddaughter is resting soundly.  It is refreshing to think about a young child who is not worried about anything.  She is content.  She trusts that her needs will be met.  She can't do much to meet her needs.  She cries or vocalizes when she is uncomfortable or needs something.  Jesus recognized the faith of little children and commended them and advised adults to learn from them and be like them.  In the midst of uncertainty in the world, I am learning from young children.  I can, yes, I need, to rest.  I can snuggle into the bed and trust that my needs will be met.  One day at a time.
