Days of PURPOSEFUL Thankfulness – Day #71


Note: Refer to day number 1 (July 25, 2015 post) if you do not know what this is all about.

When I first started doing this I thought, “You have got to be kidding me! There is no way that this stuff is having this kind of effect on me.” I had a very rough time getting up in the morning but I thought it was just because I needed to sleep longer. Then I had my younger sister using the stuff for reasons other than why I had been using it. A few days later, she told me, “Charlotte I have to start using that [stuff] right after I get home from work. I cannot wait too close to bedtime because I have a hard time getting up in the morning. What in the world is this stuff Charlotte?!! It is one of God’s non-addictive natural remedies in the form of essential oils—lavender. I do not have a hard time sleeping. I was using it for the calming effects and the impact I thought it would have on my sinuses. Apparently, I did not really believe the claim that lavender helps people to sleep (whether you have a sleeping problem or not). So on the nights where I am not going to have the freedom to sleep as long as I want, I don’t turn on my electric aromatherapy.

So yes, I thank God for remedies found in the nature that He created for which no man can take credit. Oh, they can manufacture and sell but their science cannot create it. They literally cannot make this stuff up!
