Sleeping Peacefully
A great Danish army invaded Scotland many years ago. They crept stealthily over the border and prepared to make a night attack on Scottish forces. There lay the camp of the Scots, silent in the starlight, never dreaming that danger was so near. The Danes, to make their advance quieter, came forward barefooted. Big mistake!
As the Danes neared the sleeping Scots, one unlucky soldier set his broad foot down squarely on a bristling thistle. Consequently, a roar of pain followed, and it rang out like a trumpet blast through the sleeping camp. In a moment, the Scottish soldiers all grabbed their weapons and the Danes were thoroughly routed. From that time, the thistle became the national emblem of Scotland!
Have you ever had a difficult time going to sleep at night? Perhaps you moved into a new home and as you tried to drift off to sleep every little noise disturbed you. Some people find it difficult to sleep because of worry. They spend their time doing “work” in their heads.
One counselor said, “If you can’t get to sleep, go mop your kitchen floor, then lay down. If you still can’t get to sleep, go mop it again. Eventually you will be happy to go to sleep!”
