This does not happen often. I am 44 years old and when I finally 'lay me down to sleep' that's what I do...sleep; sometimes prematurely & completely unintentionally, if you know what I mean. However, this is one of those rare times when my brain has not shut me down.
I have been catching up on email & reading the blog site journal of my sweet friend who has been able to share her life in print these days. She has been on a Job-like journey throughout her very young and now, do we have to admit, middle-aged?? No, let's not..her still young life. She is my precious sister-in-Christ and my role model for the love of the Savior. He shines bright within her, in her husband, her children, her parents; they reflect Him in their every motion. They bring to mind Ephesians 4:1-3 ...I entreat you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with humility and gentleness, with patience, showing forbearance to one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
The tears shed while reading have brought me to a peaceful place and a desire to talk to my Lord as I lay the burdens of life at His feet and slumber without the weight of them on my heart. So, goodnight moon, goodnight all.
