Carrying.

One friend lost her dad this week.  Suddenly, unexpectedly.  I pray for her courage as she is with her family, a broken tribe without a patriarch.

One friend just learned of many cancerous lumps growing within her.  I pray for her strength to begin this journey.

One friend just learned that the ultrasound found nothing for concern, there is no need for biopsy.  I rejoice with her for the good news that is a relief to us all.

One friend is carrying the weight of so many others, and I am honored to carry her.

It's a privilege to love so deeply.

And it hurts so good to have the strength once again to carry anyone at all.
