"Tremble and do not sin. Meditate on your bed and be still. Selah."
Psalm 4:4
I was pondering this passage of scripture. Surprisingly, it reminded me of naptime. Our naptime rules are "Lay still and be quiet." I've often thought that a regular naptime led to rest time and then served as the time frame in which to foster a child's devotional time with God. However, the command to BE STILL was loud and clear as I read this passage of Scripture. By teaching the Blossoms to "Lay still and be quiet," I'm teaching them a life lesson- a lesson that will serve them well. Who would have thought that a regular nap and rest time would help children learn the discipline of being still, so they can better hear God's voice later on. I still use this skill, as I love naptime for the "being still" part... the time for me to quiet down and listen too.
