Insomniacs Know [My Story]

The Late Night Moon over Midlothian, VA.

Night Moon

 

1. If you’re an insomniac, you know that night time comes too late.

2. Dinner time would make a good bedtime. If only it didn’t get in the way of everyone’s life.

3. Insomnia makes you aware of your surroundings you may never realize otherwise, such as how many times a minute the smoke alarm in the bedroom blinks.

4. Everyone knows that staying awake while counting sheep is a shepherd’s job.

5. Insomniacs know: We’d make a really good shepherd.

6. We insomniacs are hard workers. We can climb mountains, cross oceans, dig trenches, plan parties, visit loved ones, figure out budgets, plan meals, lay out tomorrow’s outfit,            write letters, handle business, remember birthdays, choose a new paint color…all before we get out of bed in the morning and heading to work.

7.  Mornings are rough. Really rough.

8. If you’re an insomniac, by 2 pm you’re exhausted and counting the hours until bedtime.

9. Seasoned insomniacs hate bedtime.

10. A  nice back rub is insomnia’s counterpoison.

11. Coffee is our best friend.

12. Sadly, for an insomnia, our pillow is our worst enemy.

13. However, wakeful nights leave any insomniac with lot of opportunity for praying.

14. The late night moon is an amazing sight.

15. After a good night’s sleep,  every fellow insomniac is ecstatic and thankful for what is so often taken for granted-some rest on the weary body and mind.

Matthew 11:28-29 “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

 All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves.”

May you find sweet rest tonight, friends.
