Hi my GOLDEN friend !

After thinking I had this congestion/flu thing beat last week, I am still feeling under the weather. I spent a good chunk of the weekend sleeping and schlepping around the house in slippers, but this morning I will need to pull myself together to go to work. (Fortunately it’s a home office and slippers may continue to be worn!) My brain is fuzzy from the DayQuil.

Today I feel a bit like Lucy and Ethel at the chocolate factory, when the conveyor belt gets going faster and faster:

In contrast, I woke up thinking of the scripture that says,

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

Matt. 11:29,30

May your week be filled with the unforced rhythms of grace, plus chocolates.

With love,
