The Power of Positive Napping

An hour long nap right after lunch? I find it helps me quite a bunch! When sleep is missed the night before, It matters not if work or play, A nap is balm to stress of day, And this is not just metaphor! A nap is like self-given hug, That brings a smile back to your mug. No, don’t discount its healing pow’r, A servant to your ev’ry plan, That greases all the wheels of man, A nap, the hero of the hour! My father first taught me this art, Much sounder than dessert or fart, It puts day’s burdens in their place! God too took rest at end of week, Rest is Holy! Hear Him speak! (For from God’s rest poured Saving Grace.) Brian Johnston December 12, 2014
