I Love My Rest

I hope everyone is resting, Sunday I feel is for rest and enjoying yourself but more focus on rest. Monday all through friday for most people are unarguably work time, we work and work the next day and work the next day, then comes tgif finally right, the end of the week, its weekend and we hope to have some fun, for some of us we sleep in our houses cause the stress from the preceding days of the week is so much we can rarely gather strength to party, except that party is really one to look forward too, then we dont want to miss it, if not we sleep to get enough strength for the next day, next day which may probably be another work day, Saturday's are work days for some people too.

Rest is essential to everyone, we all must rest as at when due. Sundays are mostly the best time to rest, go to church, return and rest. Spend time with family and love ones too. Rest doesn't mean we should sleep and sleep all through the night, having quality time can also be counted as rest. Rest can be viewed as the state of the mind much more than its regarded as sleeping. There's the joy that comes from smiling, smiling coming from deep down inside of your heart, cause you're truly happy from spending time with people who makes you really happy, such joy contributes to rest.

Rest is more on the mind, a state of calmness and joy inside, sometimes its necessary we do what has been a burden to us, there are times we have some pending task, either someone to meet, a job to be done, even as little as a movie to watch, something the mind has been craving for, why not make out time to do it so the burden would be released from the mind, imagine doing that cumbersome laundry that have been procrastinated for a long while, as soon as you finish that laundry it'll seem as though a lump just left ones heart, all this contributes to the rest we all need.

Do what is needed for a better rest, go out if need be, visit that fun friend if need be, cook that delicacy that you've always wanted to eat, do that pending work that's going to make you keep thinking because you know its necessary you do it but you don't want to do it all the same, so as you remember it you feel kind of sad, come on just do it, doing it is also contributing to a better rest. For the parents, spending quality time with your partner and kids should be as important as catching personal fun, its necessary to listen and watch the family so observe how things have been faring, should you need to step in to resolve a thing or two.

True rest would come when you're unbothered, which is very possible, your mind is not troubled about anything, you have it all figured out, even the few where you need to still work on are either half way done or you aren't so bothered about it, maybe because it holds lesser weights of burden. True rest comes from God also, when you know you have secured the future via salvation, then one can also experience rest cause we are sure should the world end today, we are heading to a better place. Before a man could confidently say "to die Is gain" then there's something he knows that others finds strange.

In the quest for rest and happiness, I'll count salvation as the most important to any man, securing his ways with his maker, if there's anything truth about life, its the fact that nothing is certain, whether we be good or bad, rich or poor, nothing is certain, none can boast of what tomorrow brings, more reason why we must certain what we are sure about, that is going to the better place when we leave this place of management. However in God we also experience true rest on earth, cause we are sure we can pray, ask and the all powerful listens and because he hears us and is capable of providing whatever we need, we can be at peace while we wait for he to do it.

So rest is paramount, both physical, emotional and most importantly spiritual rest, everyman Hope for rest, rest after a day of work, rest after a straining trauma, rest after a lifetime on earth, our lives would take a more interesting turn when we find how to rest better and truly rest. Intentionally saving time to spend with family and just relax your muscles, intentionally taking care of that emotional trauma that's not making one think straight, either by talking to someone, a therapist or finding ways out for oneself, and most importantly building a relationship with our God, who ofcourse has always been with us, just silent cause we don't talk to him and don't listen when he speaks, funny right, well you can't listen when you're not aware someone is talking. Be conscious of God in us.

Happy Sunday everyone and try to rest. Thank you once again for reading, I love you. Peace ✌.
