Simple Sleep

Have you ever thought about how much time that you sleep? Studies say that on average we spend a 1/3 of our lives asleep.

Yet how many times do we skimp on sleep? Stay up late instead of getting rest? Get up early because we feel we have to?

Have you ever thought that sleep is a gift? Think about if we didn’t have sleep. For 24 hours we would be running around with nothing to make us slow down. Many times, tiredness is God’s way of getting us to stop and rest.  

So the next time you’re thinking of pulling another late, stop and take advantage of one of God’s gifts. The gift of sleep. The gift of rest.
