A Hurting Word...
Ever see the movie, "While You Were Sleeping"? It is a delightful, romantic comedy, and granted, not the usual "run-of-the-mill," every-day happening,...unless you happen to live at Peggie's REAL Place, where on many days, life itself is a comedy!
But have you ever noticed that momentous events always seem to happen at nighttime? Both of our sons were born in the middle of the night; both of my parents died in the middle of the night; children get sick in the middle of the night; WE get sick in the middle of the night. EVERYTHING happens in the middle of the night, or so it seems...sit with me at the Well under the night sky, and you will see...
A Helping Word...or Two!
While I am sleeping, someone, somewhere in this world is awake......I'm reminded of this fact daily, as I check my e-mail each morning. Last Sunday morning, as I popped open my Netscape mail, I found one letter waiting me from Italy, another from Japan...I check my counter or my chat room, and find people have been visiting my home in the middle of the night...
Strange feeling...but so much fun. It's exciting to see who's been prowling around Peggie's Place in the middle of the night, visiting my rooms, raiding my fridge, and resting on my sofa! Since Peggie's Place began, it has been visited by folk from 105 countries of the world...some of these visits, I'm sure, are in the middle of MY night! While I am sound asleep, someone, somewhere, is enjoying the many sites listed in my home, reading my devotional, laughing at my jokes, and feeling God's love. Incredible!...But that's not the best part, for...
While I am sleeping, SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE, out of this world, is awake......And that "Someone" is God; that "somewhere" is heaven, far above our little old world with its many time zones. He never sleeps...He watches over His children day and night...He broods over you and me with divine love and care, far beyond our human comprehension. We are loved. We are safe, and so...
We Can Sleep! Don't let your worries, fears, and the pressures of life take sleep from you--cast them on the Lord! You can choose one of two options: Why sleep when you can worry--or why worry when you can sleep...which will it be? As for me, I choose to sleep and let HIM worry...now THAT's a funny thought...and on that smile, I think I will just go to sleep...how about YOU!
And that's just a sleepy word--or two--from my heart to yours!
His Healing Word
"Behold, he who keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep (Psalm 121:4 KJV)."
"...he giveth his beloved sleep (Psalm 127:2 KJV)."
"Lord, how many sleepless nights have I spent worrying, wondering, waiting--why should BOTH of us stay awake! Help me, Lord, to relax and rest in You and in Your care, knowing You are ever awake and ever mindful of my needs, of my concerns, of my life. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
