I have been rather busy the last few weeks. There seems like a never ending to do list before me. Yesterday I was not looking forward to several things I had to do. In the middle of those things was my preaching and attending our church’s annual boat outing. I tried to catch a nap between church and the outing but there was just not enough time. So, I was tired when I stepped out of the car and got ready to greet people and go boating. My grandson was with me and he was ready to go. (Where do he get all that energy?) We hopped on a boat and away we went. Watching him enjoy the boat ride suddenly brought me a refreshment that carried me through the day. All seemed better and the world looked much brighter. I consider that a great gift from God.
This is not the only time God has brought me refreshment in the middle of being exhausted. Sometimes I wonder how I am going to make it through and yet I do. I know it is God who gives strength and carried me through it all. The older I get the more I am finding out that letting God be in control of my life is the answer to joy and peace. I hope I can get this lesson fully learned so that my life is always refreshed even in the midst of being tired.
