thankful for rest

So after a ten hour shift my first day back, working till 11:45 pm and then working a 9 hr shift the next day at 7:00 am....then working again on Sun, closing alone....I was thankful when the new manager asked if I would like today off to rest! Ahhhh.....I was getting sooooooo tired, physically to mentally to emotionally drained.  I could barely hold a smile long enough to say have a nice day, I was screaming on the inside from pain...I was just about at my point of I can't do this anymore, when the blessing of an offer of rest came...not one half second too soon! So today thankfully Story indulged me :) we went downstairs and laid together on the couch...she watched PBS and I slept....till ten. Ah... sweet glorious sleep. All day has been lounging. I should do some house work...I think I will in a bit. We will go get our taxes done today. Another blessing, because when it rains, it pours. Things are looking up and I am at peace. The lord indeed is good...you just have to thank him for trials and hard times, see the positive, as hard as it is....and you will see the everyday presence of the lord almighty.
