Where is the REST?

I'm not sure if you're sometimes feeling as jaded as I do. The past 5 months were anything but a smooth ride. I'm trying to look for rest. When was the last time you felt you had a good rest? Was it when:
- you had a good massage?
- you played the guitar for a personal jam time?
- you stoned in front of the TV finishing off the last episode of a 30-part serial all in one day?
- you had a satisfying weekend buffet?
- you listened to an uplifting sermon in church?

Or are the above all mis-directed ways of finding rest when there's actually something else?

What is rest?
where is true rest?
Why can't we find real rest?
How? How? How?

Matthew 11:28-30

28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Isaiah 40:29-31

29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.


Hope these verses encourages you!

oh.. It might be good for you couple to get away from the children once in awhile.

That'll help you rest too.
