Last night one of my young friends came for
a visit. I was glad to see her, but she
was very tired. She did not want to play
and do things. When she did start doing
things she did not make good decisions.
She did things she should not. I
was worried for her because she was soon to get herself in trouble. Her mother was more lenient than mine. I was at a loss to help her. It was stressful. I believe she was in stress because she
needed rest. After dinner she crawled up
on my dad’s lap and fell asleep.
I thought that at those stressful times I
need to crawl onto my Heavenly Father’s lap and rest. The comfort will help refresh me and lead me
to act appropriately. The hard part is making the decision to crawl into my
Heavenly Father’s lap before the stress overwhelms me. I need to operate from my Heavenly Father’s
lap, and respond to His gentle touch in the despairing times. The closer I get to Him the easier it is
respond to His admonitions. So Jeffrey, get in His lap and really live.
