Resting in the Lord

Yesterday I found I had about 20 minutes between errands and pick- up- kid time, so I stopped in at the Perpetual Adoration Chapel at Holy Family. A young woman rushed in with a seven-year-old child by the hand and a newborn in one of those baby carrier basket things. She set the baby down, genuflected, gave the older child a picture Bible and settled down for a few minutes with Christ.

About two minutes later I heard two things: the older kid playing at the back of the chapel, and the mom snoring peacefully.

He will give us rest if we give Him the chance.
