Sleep?

This is one of my favorite Bible passages. The verse that I am drawn to is:

In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves.

I have had a really long week and it has not been the best week. It actually sucked. So tonight, after a very long day, I come home and have to get the kid motivated to go with me to Target. Then it is dinner, baths, brushing teeth, brushing hair, cleaning up, etc. The kids want me to play blocks with them. I need to finsh dishes, laundry, the kids room looks like we were robbed, etc.

Back to the verse....I should let some of the housework go and be in the moment with my children. I should play blocks and leave the dishes? I should not stay up late to finish everything that needs to get done? I should play and then go to sleep? I am not sure if I could even do that.

I think this is a tough verse. For me, it is tough to surrounder all the little things that can keep me up at night but may not be of the utmost of importance.

I also tend to worry. Worry about everything. Everything. I know how foolish this is. ...for he grants sleep to those he loves.

So now I sleep.
