On days like these.

​It's on days like this - when the thoughts that chase our minds are full of accusations and inadequacies, half truths and smudged glass, when the things that make life rich are also the things that ache and dreams seem like false and sizzled things - yes, it's days like this that the foot of the cross is such a precious thing. 

Here, we don't have to be anything more than who we are. We don't have to pretend, don't have to try harder, fight braver or say the right things to all the right people. We can just be and know that we have never been loved so much as we are right now. And that, is enough. 

Days like this don't last forever, but the love of God - His call, His claim on our lives, there is no removing that. Ever. And so, in moments like this, on days like this, here is where I sit.

Thank you, Penny, this thought is needed now. Michael's great-great-niece, Charlotte, who was eleven years old, has just left this hard and sad life and gone to live with Jesus. Charlotte had Rett Syndrome and never spoke or walked while she was here. Now, though, I know that she is singing and dancing and maybe even having hugs from Jesus, who has loved her all along.

Thank you for your comments, Robyn. I am glad my words were a help, though I am so sorry to hear about Charlotte. I remember you speaking about her with such love. Much love to you and Michael, and to the rest of Charlotte's family at this time.

    The Penny Drops

    In high school I used to call them 'thinks' - little bits of writing about whatever topic or issue I was mulling over at the time. These days I probably call them journal entries, or blog posts. Whatever the name, here's some of what I get when the penny drops, or doesn't, and I sit down to write...
