I didn’t teach yesterday.
I wasn’t feeling well, and I knew a day at home would be the best medicine for me.
I had planned to work on lesson plans, grade papers, and rest under a blanket; but I guess my body needed rest more than productivity.
After being up for a little while with Olivia, getting her off to school and doing just a bit of paper sorting, I pulled a blanket up over me on the couch and decided to take a short nap.
Five hours later I woke up, just in time to pick Olivia up from school!
I’ll have to admit, I was a little disappointed when I realized I had slept the entire day away; but honestly, I knew it was exactly what my body needed.
Sometimes, productivity equals rest.
I hope you have a productive Saturday – whether you are getting something accomplished on your to-do list or enjoying a quiet day of relaxation!
I love you all,
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!

Happy to hear you had a great needed nap even though you didn’t think you were productive. You were productive, you rested. Happy Sat to you. Hugs to you. Sandy
