It's been a rough week around here. We've had thunderstorms, power outages and internet loss. My teenagers and older children have been through trials. I've heard frustration. . and complaints . . and tried to soothe the tears. The world around us can be a painful place.
I have been working here- and- there around the house, as I have been able. But the mere act of getting up in the morning is becoming too much. I am exhausted. Maybe this is another forced rest?
I am going to have to really pace myself. Earlier today, I actually craved a cane. I thought it would help keep me steady. It's not that something is wrong with me, necessarily, just that life throws a lot of painful things my way. While I can endure it emotionally, it takes a physical toll.
This is why I love the seclusion of home.
This is the place where I can recover. This is the precious place where hearts can be made whole. . . and weary souls can find rest.
May it be so.
Blessings
Mrs. White

I just wanted you to know that I love the sweet honesty of your blog. I, too, have a number of "grown" children, and I have enjoyed your blogging about your experiences and patient reliance on the Lord.
I am praying for you during your "rest" time--not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit sayeth the Lord...
