Tuesday’s Musings: Tuck Me In Lord.


Psalm 4:8  In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.

My mother, bless her heart was not maternal or domestic.  She was not the bake cookies, tuck you in at night type of mother.  She had an artistic soul; an aspiring professional dancer whose career was ended with a badly broken leg.  I received other gifts from her yet sometimes I wish I had experienced the night time togetherness, a bedtime story and a goodnight kiss. Now when I go to bed at night I have Joe there.  And I like to get still before going to sleep and thank God for the day.  Sometimes I feel so close to him that it’s almost like he’s tucking me in. The Bible says nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.  Feel alone at night? Let God tuck you in.

Heavenly Father, thank you for your deep love for us.  Be with us when we are feeling lonely and needy. Continuously fill us with the joy of your presence.  We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Have a great day and sweet dreams!
Paige
