Today’s Thought “Where Did the Siesta Go?” G. Ward

“Yet if you devote your heart to him, and stretch out your hands to him, if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent, then, free of fault, you will lift up your face; you will stand firm and without fear. You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by. Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning. You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety. You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid, and many will court your favor.” Job 11:13-19

 

What was mandatory as young children existed to make us more cooperative in growth and mechanical skills. Napping then however was comparable to pulling teeth without anesthesia. We certainly can recall the benefits of napping on young children’s disposition. They awakened with greater vibrancy and a spirit of cooperation that lent itself towards ingesting proposed regimen.

Adults are now more sleep deprived than ever before. Modern advances given were ultimately perceived as mechanisms designed to make life easier (and they did); but reliance on such conveniences perhaps allowed too much space for self-contained agenda. Although this may not be altogether bad, it can be the slow drip unto the river of narcissism.

Perhaps you’ll consider a short nap periodically? I hear the antagonism from many as I write suggesting, “No time and how difficult it will be in sleeping later if I nap!” That’s precisely why you need a nap! Impetuously, we’re often too prepared in sharing a recipe un-tried! Along with health improvements, it very well could help eliminate a terrible attitude…

Happy Thursday!
