This is how we do naps these days.
If I try to rock him or put him in his crib, he throws a fit for an hour like I am implementing inhumane torture. So everyday at 2:00, I tell him we are going somewhere in the car, he is absolutely delighted at the prospect of an adventure, and he falls asleep in just a few minutes.
Basically, I am paying for nap time in gas money. And it is worth every penny.
It occurred to me yesterday that this is probably how God sees us. We are working frantically, wanting to go and be and do everything and all things, at church, at home, at work, in the community.....and all He wants to do is put us in the car, circle the block a few times, and give us some divine rest. How often we forget, that in his sovereignty, even God Himself took a day of rest after Creation. How much more do we need a God-given nap time!
"Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened (and over-worked and over-driven), and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

You are a wise woman!
It's a tactic I believe we've all used!
When I shared this with Mom, she said we just need to line up drivers for you a few days a week so you can catch a nap too while Ethan is enjoying his rest around town. Praying that you are having a good day today!
