Debbie, God gave you a gift in that little girl! What a treasure!! It's like you had communion with her! Rest!

I can remember MANY years ago my friend, Brother Bruce, teaching me about God's rest in Hebrews, chapter 4 - that was 37 or 38 years ago!! 9 So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. 10 For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.

Rest is so important to God - for every day, for every week, holidays throughout the year, every seven years. He commanded the land to be given rest! And sent His people out of the land because they didn't give it rest. He gave the land rest for seventy years. And then He brought His people back! What a great Redeemer we serve!!
