Restlessness

He can't sleep, and she tosses and turns. The bills, the job, the marriage, the children, the parents: They just cannot stop thinking about them. He tries counting sheep, and she reads until her eyes are blurry. No matter what method, no matter how hard they try, they just cannot get any rest. Their restlessness has taken over their lives, and now unless they take a sleeping pill or two, they can hardly function. How shall this be remedied, and where is the answer to the unrest within?

What if there was one source that knew there would be those restless times in life? Suppose that somewhere, someone knew there were going to be times where bills, marriages, children, etc. would be on the forefronts of people's minds, and if the troubled person would just go to this source, all the rest he or she needed would be received immediately? Imagine a person who not only would provide the much needed rest, but also would promise to give to everyone he loved sleep. What if all the heavy things in life could be laid down before him and never needed to be picked up again? One wonders, if such a source were found, would people actually go to him or would they choose to suffer instead?

Some may never know, and so their existence shall be sleeping pills at night, coffee or energy drinks in the morning. Over and over and over again the drudgery lives on, and the restlessness continues even though there is one who gives a promise to all those who labor and are so heavy laden. The wise person will seek for him, and finally find the rest within they really need.

Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
