And on the Seventh Day...

Today is a rest day from therapy, a day without pushing my body to and beyond its bounds. While I want to get better as fast as possible, I also know my body needs this rest. We may need to adjust therapy as once I am finished my energy for the day is gone and I sleep. This is probably because of the Mitochondrial Disease. The Mitochondria are in every single cell in the body and are what produces energy for the cell. Mine are damaged and so do not produce energy properly. So I can only do so much before my reserve for the day is gone. I am sure spending 3 hours doing therapy and then the remainder in bed is not going to help me as much as if I was awake and capable of doing more.
I like that in the process of the Creation, God himself took a day of rest. He had completed an enormous, unfathomable task and then rested. He took the time of peace and calm and rejuvenation. It makes me feel less of a disappointment to need that day of rest. And today I will be thanking the Lord for the many blessings in my life, relaxing in His loving arms, and drawing near to Him.
