"An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard; I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of.
He calmly came over to me. I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.
An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.
The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.
Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: 'I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.'
The next day he arrived for his nap with a different note pinned to his collar: 'He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3--he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'"
In the hustle and bustle of the world around you, are you finding a quiet place where you can come apart and rest awhile? Are you finding a place that you can spend that quiet time alone with God to hear His still small voice? If not, maybe you should find some quiet hall and curl up in the corner and rest awhile.

LOL. That's a sweet story.
What would we do without Sabbath?! Starting school is making me more thankful for that slice of time!
Is this true? :)
Happy Sabbath
Paeter, I am glad for the Sabbath too! But often I realize I need it through the week as well!
Micheal, I don't know if it's true. Good lesson though.
Time to update. At least tell about disecting the bear. Love, MOM
