Go Ahead And Take A Nap
I came home with the intention of getting some reading done today. The next thing I know…I was waking up. How in the world did that happen??? I just sat down for a few minutes.
Ughhhhh…getting old is no joke! I always say that it is not for the faint of heart.
Let me tell you, at first I was a little concerned. I mean, I never took naps. I didn’t need them. I could stay up all night, go to work, come home and do it all over again. Of course, I was twentysomething then. That, in itself explains a lot…lol. I could do a lot then that I can’t do now.
The thing is…I don’t think I would change anything. I don’t want to go back in time, and do it all again. I love the age that I am. I worked hard to get here.
Maybe I could use a little fine tuning. Be a little kinder to myself. Go to sleep on time, eat a better diet, drink more water, eat less junk food, and stop stressing about stuff.
Come to think of it, that’s good advice for any age.
God gives us the opportunity to self-correct. He really is the God of second chances. He loves us so much, and always wants the best for us. He wants us to live our best lives. Of course, that means different things to different people,
To me, it means living a life that is totally sold out to Him. Knowing that there is no material thing that can give me what He can.Things like peace, joy, love, faith, hope…all come from living a life that is based on pleasing Him, and I always want to please Him.
Our bodies are not meant to last forever, but our souls are. And that’s the most important part, right? Prayerfully, we will all get to be super heroes (that’s what I call seniors) one day. I love knowing that no matter what age we are, when we give our lives to the Lord, Jesus Christ, we never die…we just get eternal life with Him. Thank You, Lord!
So, maybe our bodies don’t cooperate the way they used to. That’s ok. Just keep trusting God, enjoying the journey, and taking a good nap every now and then.
Until next time…
Be blessed
