While I was gone on a trip our daughter Sherri started a fund raiser to buy Patty and I a new bed. I sleep very sound for About 3 hours and then I wake up because I am so stiff because of my Parkinson’s. I get up and go sit in my recliner and can usually get another couple of hours in a semi sitting up position. My chair is outside Sherri and Thomas’s room so whenever Sherri got up to take care of their little boy Courage in the middle of the night I usually was in my chair. I think she assumed that I spent most of the night there when in reality it was only half. Anyway, the new bed came today. It is like a hospital bed in that the head and foot of the bed will raise and lower. It is really two beds connected, Patty’s and mine. The idea is that when I wake up I will stay in bed but raise the head and feet a bit and go back to sleep. Tonight is the maiden voyage, we will see how it works. I will give you an update tomorrow. The word “rest” is a very nice word, it makes me feel good just writing it. In Hebrews 3:9-11 it says, “so then, a Sabbath rest still remains for the people of God; for those who enter God’s rest also cease from their labors even as God did from His. Let us make every effort to make sure we enter into that rest”. I think tonight when I lay down in my new bed I will say, “this is nice, but nothing like the rest I will have when I enter into heaven”.
