Thought for the  day:

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.
 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30

What we're listening to for inspiration:

Rest in Him
