Stress Management ~ in the Glass?

Have you heard about the lady who was teaching a stress management class? She held up a glass of water and immediately everyone thought that she was going to ask if it was half full or half empty. But she surprised them. She wanted to know how her arm would react if she didn't put the glass down. She told them it was a little like stress, if you didn't put it down at the end of the day, you had big problems. If you hold that glass for ten minutes, no big deal, if you hold it for an hour, you are going to be very tired. But if you hold it for a day or a month without putting it down, you're going to have some serious problems.

How many times have I taken my troubles to bed with me, only to lay awake instead of sleeping?  I ask the Lord to help my mind calm and to go to sleep, then I pick the same old problems up again and remain awake. Isn't that the way with life? If we hang on to problems or the baggage in our lives, we're going to have some serious problems, but if we let go of them at the end of the day and trust them to the Lord's care, we will sleep so much better.  Will we be able to sleep anywhere like my little fella did when he was young???

Thanks for stopping by and have a good sleep!
