"Come to me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
When Boudreaux was a little kitten, he played and played until he was exhausted. Boo would call him and Boudreaux would muster enough energy to run to him for a bottle and to be gently eased to sleep. Isn't that the way it is with us? We rush around and busy ourselves with mundane things until we're exhausted. Jesus calls us to come to Him for rest and for refreshment. Let's answer His call, rest in Him and awake to serve Him.
What a cute kitten!
