Grumbling Antidote #5: Rest
It’s NO GRUMBLING WEEK 2015 here on GUWG.
I don’t know about you, but I find that when I’m tired I’m especially prone to grumpiness.
If I were to type the way I feel at those times, there would be lots of CAPITAL LETTERS and UNDERLINING and BOLD FONT and ITALICS, capped off with an excess of EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!! It’s like EVERY LITTLE THING gets MAGNIFIED and BLOWN WAAAAAAAAY OUT OF PROPORTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ready? Set! Resssssst.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (Matthew 11:28-30)
We started off the year with GUWG’s official 2017 Spiritual Workout to help us all train for the Big Race.
Physical trainers will tell you that any workout plan will be doomed to fail if it doesn’t incorporate today’s piece: REST.
Feeling tired? Stressed? Overwhelmed? You don’t have to.

Today’s topic? REST. Unplug from the world and go deeeeeeeeeeep into these words from Jesus today:
Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest. (Mark 6:31)
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30)
