How can one not be happy to wake up to the sound of Door County Pumpkin Spice Coffee brewing in the kitchen? I just started my Monday that way. I hope today finds you all well and rested.
My day started early and went will go late into the night. I desire to leave you today with a promise for tomorrow. God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. My prayer is that you all sleep well tonight. I hear from more and more people that they struggle with not being able to sleep. I am afraid that this busy world and the frustrations, anxiousness, and worries it brings is eating into the health, happiness and hope of many people.
I look to God and His word for assistance in everything. I would be lying if I said that I never experience a few sleepless nights. What I try to do, is read the following verse and change my thoughts by following it. I usually find myself in a field or on a lake with my dog hunting ducks or geese. Or my mind wanders to fond memories of my family. These things are lovely and true. Once there I find that I will pray for some of them. This soothes my soul and eventually puts me to sleep and it stops the worries. So here's to tonight and the day after. Rest my sleepless friends.
Philippians 4:8-9
New International Version (NIV)
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
God bless,
Marty
