This song has played inside of me this afternoon. And I needed it. My jaw aches from clenching because of stress.
I am grateful for 20 minutes on a porch swing in the middle of the day.
I am grateful for not a cloud in the sky as the day ends and I shut down the computer.
I am grateful for frozen bread dough that makes fresh baked bread easy.
I am grateful for new cards to send.
And I am grateful for the way The Message translates Matthew 11:28-30, my scripture for today:
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. – The Message
