Sabbath Keeping

"When you lie down,

you will not be afraid;

when you lie down,

your sleep will be sweet."

~ Proverbs 3:24 ~

"Fatigue makes cowards of us all." ~ Vince Lombardy ~
"Sleep makes each night a sabbath for the day. Sleep shuts tight the door of the soul and bids all intruders wait for a while, that the life within may enter its summer garden of ease. The toil-worn believer quietly sleeps, as does the weary child when it slumbers on its mother's breast." ~ Charles Spurgeon ~ 

"Early to bed and early to rise probably indicates unskilled labor." 

~ John Ciardi ~

"I love sleep. My life has a tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?" 
~ Ernest Hemingway ~
"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." ~ Dr. Seuss ~

"Sleep is my lover now, 

my forgetting, 

my opiate, 

my oblivion."

~ Audrey Niffenegger ~

"And if tonight my soul may find her peace in sleep, and sink in good oblivion, and in the morning wake like a new-opened flower then I have been dipped again in God, and new-created."  ~ D. H. Lawrence ~

"To be, or not to be: that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;

No more; and, by a sleep to say we end

The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish'd. to die, to sleep;

To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub."

~ Shakespeare ~

"No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a nap." ~ Carrie Snow ~

"Life is too short to sleep on low thread-count sheets." 

~ Leah Stussy ~

"Do this, 
knowing the time, 
that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; 

for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. 

The night is almost gone, and the day is near. 

therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light."

~ Romans 13: 11-12 ~
