this is just the exhale and sigh of relief we all need to begin the weekend

Wonder is what happens when we unexpectedly apprehend
the marvellous quality of the ordinary….

(And) if we can train ourselves to attend to the world with love,
we may find that the gift of wonder lies waiting to be received.”

book havens are the closest thing to heaven on Earth, no?
and you can find them ALL OVER this glorious world of ours

We can be an army of wounded warriors — or a collective of wounded healers

THIS! “…when we imitate Christ, our own wounds, too, have the power to help others heal.
From Karen Swallow Prior, this article is profoundly healing and transformative, for all of us who are wounded.

– this might just be what heaven sounds like –

An Ark Mentality Can’t Survive an Anxiety-Flooded Age

How do we live in an anxious world? Seek out constant distractions? Or turn toward this this?

“It’s the anchor of my universe, my gravity
And my whole world revolves around the mystery…

I will boast in the Cross

– this song! we could just listen over and over and over again –

There’s never a sin your cross cannot cover
Nothing I’ve done scares you away
You are not shaken by complicated
Fragile hearts in your hands are safe

You came when I was broken
You loved me through all of my failures
You gave, when I had nothing to give, you gave

[ Prints FREE here ]

You totally get permission to say you’re sorta done taking it all.
You’re done taking the pressure, you’re done taking the pounding surf,
you’re done taking the bills, taking the doctor appointments,
taking the deadlines, taking the demands & the kids & all The Things —
and if you’re honest — and you’d never say it out loud,
because you keep doing the heroic thing —

but you’d love for someone to just take your hand,
and make an island of space, and just slip the whole soul-flattening weight
of everything right off of you.

And guess what? *He does.*
Today. is. your. day.
You don’t have to take it today,
you don’t have to shoulder it,
you don’t have to carry it:

“Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders—
*He will carry your load*”
Ps55:22MSG

So that’s it, that’s the only thing you’ve gotta do today, this is it:
#TakeOneMoreStep — you categorically do NOT have to take it all —
if you’ll just #TakeOneMoreStep — and pile the whole thing, everything,
all the troubles on God’s shoulders.
He’s saying: ‘Bring it to Me. I’ll carry the whole thing. Pile it on.’ —
and you could have the exhale of it right now —
you could get that island of relief & feel how grace is weightless…

Honest: When you just can’t take it anymore
turn to Jesus
and take it *just one step more.*

That’s all for this weekend, friends.

Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.

Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again

Share Whatever Is Good.
