dear fellow, weary traveller

dear fellow traveller,

I see you

I hear you

maybe you aren't weary today,

but if you get to a place of weariness, 

know that I am here to walk beside you

we are better together

it is a rainy, gray, chilly day in my little corner of the world

the kind of day that magnifies weariness

and shrinks motivation

the kind that calls me to curl up with a good book 

or take a nap or both

 

it's also a Friday the 29th

Bill's last day on earth was a Friday the 29th

I miss him so I treated myself to coffee in one of his mugs

it isn't something I normally do,

but today it felt good and right and comforting

a few days ago I heard a new song which spoke to my soul

a friend shared it on FB last night

it's perfect for me today

maybe you need to hear it too

Thank you Jordan St. Cyr for recording Weary Traveller

and thank you God for these gifts this morning:

a chat with mom Bondurant

messages from family

Ruth sent school pictures of Xavier and Mia

Jess sent a text that made my heart smile

Jonathan came and fixed my upstairs heating unit blower

Romans 8

 

  

we aren't meant to live this life alone-

send the text

make the phone call

stop by for a visit

send a note or card

connect with someone you love today

it makes the road less wearisome

we are better together

"Two are better than one,
    because they have a good return for their labor:

If either of them falls down,
    one can help the other up.

But pity anyone who falls
    and has no one to help them up.

Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.

   But how can one keep warm alone? 

Though one may be overpowered,
    two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
