Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (standard:humor, 912 words)
Author: GodspenmanAdded: Feb 15 2015Views/Reads: 1937/1473Story vote: 0.00 (0 votes)
This year I celebrate another birthday. I hate to say it, but this is getting rather monotonous. Every year I celebrate my birthday. Of course, when the year comes around with no birthday to celebrate everybody will know what has happened.

If only I could remember how old I was when I learned that, I would 
celebrate that birthday. 

Nothing has been more beneficial to me than being able to say, “Now I
lay me down to sleep,” regardless of the time of day. What a wonderful 
thing it is to be able to sleep and not be harassed by “well-meaning 
friends” who just don't get it. 

I have not come to any conclusion about which birthday to celebrate this
year, but I do plan to celebrate this whole idea concerning sleep. 

When I was very young, I would fall asleep whenever and not think
anything of it. As I got older, it became embarrassing for someone to 
catch me napping. Then, I passed a certain milestone in life; I do not 
know which milestone it was, where I am not embarrassed anymore for 
anybody catching me asleep. 

I think that is what I am celebrating this year. At my birthday party,
right after the cake, everyone will join me in taking a nap. 

David understood the importance asleep when he wrote, “It is vain for
you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for 
so he giveth his beloved sleep” (Psalm 127:2). 

What puts you to sleep is a good indication of what kind of person you
are.
