The other day, we had little C for the afternoon, and we kept him pretty busy once he got up from his nap. A trip to the local park was in order. This included a longish walk down the hill to the soccer field, and back up again. This little guy loves to run around and climb up and down hills. I think we tired him out!
As we were driving him home after supper, I noticed him rubbing his eyes and yawning at least four times in a span of 10 minutes. Usually he has a second wind after supper, but not this time!
When he arrived home 20 minutes later, he was quiet and his eyes looked to only be half open. His mommy asked him if he wanted a story and he nodded yes. His usual habit of hugging and kissing everyone good night wasn't going to happen this time. He took his mommy's hand and without so much as a look in our direction, he disappeared into his bedroom. Now, that's TIRED!
We all need rest.
What do we need rest from? We need rest from being hurt, rest from our heavy labors, and rest from our fast-paced world. We need rest from the speed of change, rest from our jobs, and rest from information overload.

And now that I've completed the A-Z Blogging Challenge for 2019, I might take a little rest from this blog! Thanks for reading!
