May your weekend be a sacred pause for your soul. In your boredoms and your emergencies, your resting and your work, your ability and your inability, may you remember your anchor is not wisdom, answers, or an organized agenda.
Your anchor is Christ – with you and within you. Even as you predict a gloomy future, remember he has already been before you and he would not have you go where he is not.
Enjoy your weekend, friends.

Emily –
LOVE the first link — SO true!
As a high school teacher, I see adults mistake kids’ “sophistication” for maturity all the time. They defer as they would to a peer. Yet, this year’s sophomores act like the 7th graders I taught in 1989…even the 6th graders.
Looking forward to reading the other links by a crackling fire later.
And to receiving the copies of graceful I just ordered for my girls’ Bible study group!

That’s beautiful, Emily!

Thank you for the reminder that God is truly our anchor. My morning has been off to a rough start and I’m already blinking back tears but I am reminded to take comfort of who sustains me and keeps my heart and soul protected.
God Bless
