Come to me, all of you who are weary
and carry heavy burdens,
and I will give you rest
(Matthew 11:28; NLT).
Father,
If I never lay my cross down,
If I never pause to rest,
If I never try to pray:
I’ll never bear each test.
If I never stop to listen,
If I never care to seek,
If I never wait on you:
I’ll never hear you speak.
If I never ask forgiveness,
If I never feel remorse,
If I never start afresh:
I’ll never stay the course.
If I never spread your Gospel,
If I never praise your grace,
If I never worship you:
I’ll never see your face.
If I never share your body,
If I never taste your blood,
If I never strive to follow Christ:
I’ll never know your love.
Those who wish to boast should boast in this alone:
that they truly know me
and understand that I am the Lord,
who demonstrates unfailing love
(Jeremiah 9:24; NLT).

Our life is but a pilgrimage along narrow roads that test the soul, persevering in His Guiding Light leads us eventually Home!
You expressed this enduring truth much better than I ever could, Alan. How did it go with the podiatrist yesterday, and how is your foot today? XXXXXX
The foot has healed up nicely with the antibiotics, cellulitis infection averted phew! Ross my podiatrist was happy with it and discharged me, but is happy to be called back if needed.
Thats terrific news, Alan. I’m delighted for you. At least this is one significant weight off your mind XXXXX
