The Lord Gives To His Beloved While They Sleep (Ps127)

I have always thought sleep good and enjoy it greatly. But I have also cavalierly celebrated the fact that for most of my adult life I have done just fine on 5 or 6 hours of sleep each night. this journey had already taught me a lot about the medical necessity and healing power of sleep.  I go to bed each night stiff and in some minor degree of pain in places I had forgotten could feel pain. And yet, after 8 hours of sleep, I am like a new man. The pain is gone and I am ready to gave a new day.  Thank you, Lord, for the gift of sleep!
