dragging on… dragging down

The entire family is so worn out.  Everyone is cranky, tired and on edge.  You set anyone of us still for any length of time, and we fall asleep.  We’re starting to pick fights, get easily offended and avoiding.  This can’t continue.  We need a break.  A rest.  Sometime apart from life.. doing *nothing*.  Or doing something fun?  Not a day.. an entire week.

I know everything comes in it’s season.  This is not a season for a vacation: we have school, activities, work, church obligations.  But I’m so weary now.

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”  

Matthew 11:28-30

I’m trying to live this.. really I am.  But the rest seems so elusive
