Welcome back. You belong here.
First days of any time of rest are tough, so it was for me. It started with our 11 year old having four teeth extracted, tough girl, all for good reasons. The other two also had stuff done to them, yikes. Then I scheduled my echo (not fun), and it ended with missing out on PTO with my wife so I could stay home with our post-dentist patients (our three children).
All day I felt anxious, tired, nervous about our 11 year old's procedure and just trying to process the day.
I think I felt worst yesterday than I have the last few days although I slept through the night (good thing). I wrote a lot, made some plans for the rest of my Sabbath. Even though I personally didn't rest, I was able to be there for my wife and our children when they needed me. That's what Sabbaths are sometimes all about.
Have a great day.
Into the future,
