Last night I slept like a baby. This morning, I was so comfy that I didn’t want to get up … and I didn’t! Well, eventually I did. I have heard that staying in bed is a sign of depression, but in my case, it was a sign of exhaustion from a week-long birthday celebration with nights of 6 hours’ sleep. But last night, I caught up! It has been cold at night, and I am putting off turning on the heater. I made a new quilt and added it to my bedcovers, which made me toasty under 2 ½ covers (the half is a folded blanket for my cold feet). The 2 quilts remind me of one of those weighted blankets. A combination of sleep deprivation, a cool room, weighted blankets, and toasty feet gave me perfect sleep! Psalm 127:1&2, “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep." Did I fail to mention a clear conscience? Hey, before you drift off to sleep tonight, ask forgiveness for selfish moments during the day and thank the dear Lord for watching over you. You might sleep like a baby too!
