Not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. When I'm tired I don't censor myself--I act out of emotion, often saying & thinking things I shouldn't. It leads to a lack of thankfulness and not seeing my blessings.<br />Thanks so much for your visit and comment Tina!<br />In Christ,<br />LauraLaura Rathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524290825130536188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-84975351039128963492012-05-30T16:44:59.777-05:002012-05-30T16:44:59.777-05:00I definitely know what you are saying.

But God says for us to rest-so that is what I'm going to TRY to do. Thanks for this, I needed to read these words today.Alecia Simerskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930051713213737724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-14616256145836683412012-05-26T11:21:44.091-05:002012-05-26T11:21:44.091-05:00Hi Laura, I am sorry that I have to post it here. ...Hi Laura, I am sorry that I have to post it here.

All these things the wisdom of God's Word teaches about but I don't always pay attention to! As a result, I become grumpy and sluggish - none of which is God glorifying. <br /><br />There have also been stressful situations, trials, etc which have brought emotional and physical tiredness but despite all this, God is very definitely sufficient for such times as we learn to rest in Him.Wendy @ ECTaShttp://www.each-card-tells-a-story.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-39961381078313988102012-05-24T08:39:59.066-05:002012-05-24T08:39:59.066-05:00Yes!
