I'm putting that verse from Psalm 127 on my mirror this week. Thank you for sharing your thoughts - I hope you are feeling more caught up on your own rest by the time this weekend is over.

I needed to read it.)Abbey @ Surviving Our Blessingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294464284257098902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834193276775623028.post-49650034869122567882013-03-15T12:47:04.842-07:002013-03-15T12:47:04.842-07:00Isn't that so like God?

I agree.

I am in my first trimester, and both our kids have been sick, and I am reminding myself that rest is God's gift to this weary Mama. Came over from FMF. Have a blessed day!
