My extended family relationships are challenging right now; I visited my mom in long term care the end of February and came home emotionally and spiritually spent. Parked my Substack activity entirely, posted a few old posts over Lent, read a few other articles, no real strength to think and comment until recently…just needed a break…love the Matthew 11 verses, “…and you shall find rest unto your soul.”
Hugs dear friend. It can be a lot to live our lives and then remember and do life with others around us. You are showing up and hope these words remind you of your Father 🤎
So good, Joelle. When I find myself in these situations, I crawl into bed, lay on one side, bend my knees, and imagine I’m sitting on Jesus’ lap. Then I put my head on his chest so that I can listen to the heart that beats for me—the one whom Jesus loves.
So true!!
