Normally if I'm writing about how I'm thankful or blessed and it has to do with sleeping, I'd be saying that I'm thankful I actually slept through the night, or I'm thankful that I woke up feeling rested finally. Because that hasn't happened in at least a year if not longer. Sleep has become truly a precious thing to me but such a source of frustration at the same time. It doesn't seem to matter how much or how little I get, I don't wake up rested- I usually wake up feeling like I've slept maybe an hour or two. It makes for long, tiring days- days where at some point sleep almost overtakes me (yesterday it was while I was driving- that's not good). It's a frustration because I feel like I can't think as clearly, I haven't been able to get up early to walk my dog as often, or get up to exercise like I used to, and when I get home from work, I'm usually beat.
But the point of this blog is not to complain, so I apologize for digressing. The point is to tell you about how the Lord blessed me, and yesterday morning, I was blessed by the Lord waking me early. He does that every so often- and lately it's honestly been less than it used to be- maybe because He knows I need the sleep. But yesterday morning He woke me (I don't use an alarm clock- He wakes me every morning) at 5:40am and gave me the grace to get up and walk my dog. And I'm so glad I listened to Him, because it would've been easy to go back to sleep, but I'm thankful I didn't. Because I would've missed this blessing. Not only would I have missed the blessing of getting outside- which truly is a necessity for me, but I would've missed this:
