Have you ever had one of those weeks? You know the kind. The papers you need to grade are multiplying like rabbits. You've got a car in the shop and two more that need repairs. Your high school son's idea of a sentence is "Meh!" You argue with your husband about how he never is there when you really need him. The TurboTax e-filing system doesn't have a "Warning- Tax Incompetents Click Here Before You Do Something Stupid" button. Plus, on top of it all you don't have to put in a garden outside because the dust in your house will work just fine! This has got to sound familiar. Well, maybe not exactly like your week but you could fill in the blanks with your own version.
As you can probably tell my week has not been the best one. I imagine the small snowball starting down the hill. As it rolls, it picks up snow and by the time it gets to the bottom-BAM!
it hits us! At this point most of us are exhausted, grouchy and most likely not the most pleasant person to be around. It's at times like this that I just want to quit. Then I remember these words spoken by Jesus.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:28-29
I can tell you now, that this verse can be like the cool air coming off a thunderstorm after a humid day. You see, Jesus wants us to give him all our troubles and worries. He wants us to lean on him. Finding rest in him is the best medecine for one of "those" weeks!
