Since it’s a thirty-four-mile drive (one way) to major shopping and doctors, my husband and I lump all our errands together. Monday was the usual marathon.
By the time we got home, we were both tired and grumpy, and even grumpier when I realized we had forgotten Cooper’s thyroid meds.
I groaned. We’d never make it back before the vet’s office
closed.
Only good thing, Cooper wouldn’t run out of medication until
Thursday, but I resigned myself to just get it over with and go back tomorrow. I
hated the idea. The day after being in town, I wanted to relax.
The debate still raged in my mind when I opened my devotions
the next morning.

God gave me permission to rest.
I listened.
Not only did I have the chance to recharge my energy, but my
hairdresser also returned my call regarding a hair appointment. She had an
opening Wednesday. Waiting saved me three back-to-back trips.
I usually put prayer and meditation first, but now and then,
I succumb to the panicked urge to jump up and start my To Do List. A decision I
often regret.
Thank you, Lord, for urging me to pause and rest rather than
running from dawn to dusk, worried about many things. Amen.
