Fighting Fatigue

     I'm tired. I'm sure you are too. Studies today say that most people are getting fewer hours of sleep due to tight work schedules and deadlines, plus technology is interfering with going to bed as well. So last night I started to bed around 8:30pm, fell asleep around 9:00pm and the alarm went off at 5:00am. Notice I didn't say I woke up at 5:00am. There's something refreshing about being able to sleep until you just wake up on your own.
     This is a three day weekend for me, so guess what I plan on doing on two of those days? I'm going to start by not setting my alarm! I'm also going to get outside, as I spend two hours a day in my car to and from work and nine hours on the sixth floor of an office building sitting at a computer. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining since I do like my work. I just miss sleep and fresh air too.
     Thank you Lord for my job. For my car that takes me to my job. For the sleep I do get. For my supportive husband that takes care of things while I'm at work. Lord may I remember to be grateful for all the good in my days rather than just complain about my discomfort. Amen.

Even the young get tired.
Psalm 3:5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
