Despite being a terrible sleeper, (which is getting worse with every midde-aged year) I hate naps! My aversion is based on how hard it is for me to do and if I can, I am so irritable when I wake up it never feels restful. But I have tried to seek out intentional rest in other ways.
Have you read Rest is Resistance by Tricia Hersey yet? It's on my TBR list and somone gifted me her nap ministry card deck and her message is also one of not needing to earn rest.
Yes! Embracing rest as a gift instead of a reward is key to the life we were meant to live!
Thanks Sarah!

I haven't, but I just looked it up and I'm so interested now. Rest as resistance...what a title! Thanks for sharing Christine!
