Bed

Today's verse is from Ecclesiastes 1:2-9

In our beds we find the ideal place to pray and reflect on our lives.  At night, as we drift off to sleep, the grind of our daily lives falls away.  Sleep refreshes us and teaches us to put aside the anxieties of the day. 

I frequent the Flylady group and one of the big things she says is to make your bed and bedroom a haven of rest from the world.  Others remind us to only sleep in bed (well....mostly sleep...).  No reading or working or watching tv from the bed. 

Bedtime is a good time to reflect on how the day went and then to give it all up-both the good and the bad- to God.

*When you go to bed this evening, close your eyes and consider the following questions:

...What has this day brought for which I am thankful?  for which I am sorry?

...How does the natural rhythm of sleep and rising prepare me for my death and resurrection?
