Heaviness

In the years we had no house,
We had few guests.
Who wants to drive an hour
To stand outside or sit in cramped quarters?

We are blessed with guests now.
I am thankful every day.

But with relationship comes
Deeper connection with pain.

Abandonment, anger, anxiety,
Death, depression, disagreement,
Headaches, loneliness, missing grace,
Misunderstanding, suicide, transition, trauma.

Some weeks feel heavier than others.

Thank you, Jesus, that you have strong shoulders.
That you bear our burdens.
That you give us peace.

Because this world is too much for me.
