"Take
my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and
you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is
light.” Matthew 11:29-30 (NIV)
I
just returned from San Diego. My family
attended an educational summit on hemophilia and inhibitors. It was a great time of meeting new friends,
learning about new treatments and just being able to get away and enjoy each
other. Sometimes it takes a
"meeting" or special event to get our families away from the daily
grind.
Work,
school, cooking, cleaning, hemophilia...the list goes on. We all have burdens to carry. Some are heavier than others. But the best part of burden carrying is when
you are able to find rest for your soul.
Finding rest for my soul has been in not just finding God in the walls
of my church on Sunday mornings, but in seeing the calm waters of the San Diego
bay, watching my husband's excitement over fresh seafood, our tired feet from all of the walking, and just breathing in
another, hot New Mexico day.
Letting
go and experiencing rest for my soul is a treasure. It can come at the most unexpected times and
places, we just have to acknowledge the gift so that we can continue to carry
our loads.
Today

- Clean sheets
- Shuttle buses
