You have to be "old" to know that the title to this post is from an OLD Nat King Cole song. Now, I'm not THAT old, I just remember the song--probably from the oldies station, right?
I am feeling lazy today. It's been a tough month.
I remember when my grandma died, my mom would pick up the phone to call her, and realize she wasn't here. I'm experiencing the same feelings about my friend Marie.
I get a joke passed on to me, and I want to forward it to her. But she's with Jesus. I haven't deleted her email address...or her IM address. I log into IM and expect to see her online.
In three weeks, I'll be walking in the Relay for Life...a lap for each year I knew her...40 years If you know a lap is 1/4 mile...do the math..and I'll be walking 10 miles. I'm tired already! Oh how I pray this is not one of the hot years...where your shoes melt into the track!
I had the opportunity to get away to my heaven on earth place (Hood Canal) for a few days after I spoke at her service. Four days of sitting on the deck and watching the seals and bald eagles...of taking naps and not getting dressed all day. I actually read a novel! It was four days of resting in the Lord. He does indeed restore our souls.
If your soul is weary...I pray you will give yourself a time-out. Rest in Him.
