"You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you." -St. Augustine
To rest in Him. We rest when we gratefully accept all that He allows in our lives. The beautiful and the not-so-beautiful. We give thanks for His gifts, and it becomes a form of rest for us.

I love the quote from St. Augustine about resting because our true rest is found in God! Visiting you today from Ann's place and counting blessings with you! Mary
Hi Debbie,
I'm hopping over from Ann's link up to count gifts with you. I like Augustine's quote there and use it too at times: "our heart is restless until it rests in you." Hmm.
Have a great week,
