Tender

Happy Sunshiney Morning from over here in my corner chair.
This world is full of pain and so much weary tiredness.
I want so desperately to share rest with it. Yes, "it" is the world.
Jesus is so tender hearted so willing to provide just the right amount
of salve for the moment. I am so grateful for his gentleness no matter
how I come to Him.
I have been reading a blog about a photographer couple and their new little family
jenpluschris.com and it brings me to tears almost everytime. There is such a sweet gentle
love that radiates from their photos and her account of their new life. I am being
reminded of that tender and precious heart Jesus has for us. I often get lost in the pain, the unfathomable defeat I see so much. However, there is more, so much more. He is here.

I have been unable to get this verse out of my head over the past month. It has been bouncing around in there everyday. I hope it stays forever.
"He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." Colossians 1:17
There is nothing I can say to covey the reality of what this verse has done in me.
