I’m not sure how she got in. I think it was through an open window, but she sneaked in and made herself at home. Self-loathing was her name. She was a large presence; she filled up most of any space. She would show me all my flaws. Telling me I needed to be thinner, younger, fitter. I could never please her. Soon, her close relative, ‘comparison’, barged her way in. At least she sat quietly in a corner most days, but when I let her speak, she had an incredibly loud voice. Com

“Excuse me”, Molly said “Can I sit on your knee?” Of course, Sweetheart So she did. He continued to talk She rested Slowly, gradually, her eyes shut She fell asleep He continued Gently moving her into a more comfortable position.

There they sat around the table - All the twelve friends of Jesus, These twelve apostles of His, It was to be no ordinary supper. "Love, service and betrayal Our Lord encountered it all - For sinners like you and me." After supper, Jesus broke bread - And said, 'This is my body broken for you. Then he took the cup of wine - And said, 'This is my blood shed for you'. "Love, service and betrayal Our Lord encountered it all - For sinners, like you and me." This night was no ord

And so, my beloved child, let me ask you more probing questions: What do you expect to find at the table? Where do your expectations come from, and why do you have them? Yes, I understand, it opens your heart again, considering these things, so let's explore them before we see what I've actually laid out for you. So, the conventional understanding might lead you to believe that you are to eat of the flesh of My Crucified Son, and that is all there is on the table, and all you

Take me, take me now. Take from me all that shouldn't be. Take from me all worry and sorrow. Take my hand and be my guide. Take my yesterday and tomorrow. Take from me what I can't handle. Take me, and make me new. Take me, and mould me. Take my hand for you, I will follow. Take my voice when words fail me. Take me, let your loving grace flow. Take me, Jesus, as I am - I come to thee.

Today I sat down to pray. But I fell asleep. That deep, restful sleep. Where you wake up refreshed. But I felt guilty “Sorry, Lord.” I stammered. Then He said “How do you feel when your child Falls asleep in your arms?” I was shaken, I hadn’t seen it from His perspective. I knew I was safe I knew I was loved I knew He held me. So, I relaxed, I yawned. But I felt so loved and refreshed. Next time, And there will be a next time I will enjoy it. Thank You, Father. Again.

It is the moment when Heaven and Earth collide It is the quiet, loud intimacy of relationship Between you and God. It is the raw, broken cry of my heart For my friend, my child, myself. It is the moment when I have nothing left But tears, raw pain, deep wordless pain That I have no words for. But You, in Your deep love for me Come and sit with me in the rawness. The broken-hearted pain of loss. You gently take my hand. Hold me While I scream, cry, yell out my hurt. Yet You lo
