“At that time Jesus answered and said, ‘I praise Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou didst hide these things from the wise and intelligent and didst reveal them to babes, ‘Yes, Father, for thus it was well pleasing in Thy sight.
“’All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son, except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.
“’Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My load is light.’” Matthew 11:25-30
This passage is one of my all time ‘go to passages’, probably because I tend to go off rushing and stressing often and forget Who is watching over me and Who is there to embrace me when I am feeling alone, stressed, afraid, tired, confused. Delightfully enough it has been coming up in church recently, so I know it is time to remember the power of this promise.
Take time with these words today. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you notice the many personal details He has placed so carefully there for you.
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ, who still prays for you each morning. Darlene

Sue had four stem cell infusions (two on 30 Nov and two 5 Dec). She’s quite tired. Doctors advise it may take 3 to 4 months to see improvements. (Sam thinks she is talking more fluently now.
