Who Wants to Quit?

Welcome to the Table, Friends and Strangers. You'll have to serve yourself this morning; I'm too tired to get up from this chair.

Ever want to quit?

Maybe it's a rhetorical question.
Maybe I had one too many glasses of iced tea last night.
Maybe I haven't had time to myself to recharge.
Maybe I can't make everyone happy.
Maybe this is my real life, not a dream or a movie.

Maybe I need Jesus.

Matthew 11: 28-30--"[Jesus said] 'Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. (29) Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.'"

I see four action verbs in those sentences: come, take, learn, find.

If I don't come to Jesus, none of the others will happen. As I read these verses, I realize I try to take and learn and find without ever coming.

I think I'll try coming before quitting.

Would you like some more iced tea? I think I can get up to serve you now.
