Early to Bed

Ben Franklin once said "Early to Bed, Early to Rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."

Can I tell you that this quote has been stuck in my head the last 3 days (and nights!). I told Brent that I think the Lord is really trying to impress this principle on me. I am known to go to bed exceedingly late and still wake up fairly early.

This morning, I was reading today's homeschool devotional that is emailed to me and the following verse jumped out at me:

"It is vain for you to rise up early,
To retire late,
To eat the bread of painful labors;
For He gives to His beloved even sleep"

Psalm 127:2

I always feel like there is so much that needs to be done, that I can't get done during the day.
So here is the question I had to ask myself "Am I trying to do more than God intended me to do?"
