Rest - H

I think I'm beginning to understand the ramifications of the Fall on our lives and our relationship with God. I can only imagine the peace and serenity they lived in prior to taking a bite of that God-foresaken apple. I can only imagine the harmony in their lives and the heavenly rest in which they lived. I understand a bit what makes life on this earth sub par despite the fact that we so often think that life here is so good and try so hard to make a comfy nest for ourselves.

I'm in need of some rest, and normalcy in my life. I'm sleep deprived, sick (I caught some kind of cold), and nauseated. I'm dealing with a kid that's way too attached to Mommy and trying to train her out of that. I've become her teddy bear at night, so it's not been very easy. She wants Mommy and no other. Without knowing when the end will come, I feel like I've reached the end of my rope in every way, and I can only long for the eternal rest that I'll one day experience and that I imagine Adam and Eve must have had at one point in life.

We toil in this life, yet we don't recognize it. I guess we've known nothing else. I've had a hard week though, and I long for Rest.
