I was reflecting on the Sunday Gospel of the loaves and fishes and how Jesus showed such compassion for the hungry crowd even though he was feeling tired and wanting to have some 'time out.' First he attended to their needs and then went aside by himself to pray. Sometimes we can experience compassion fatigue if we do not care for ourselves well in our ministry.'Life is about wholeness, not about effectiveness and its good to learn to be a human being and not a human doing.' (anon)
Gentle soft rain
Silently falling,refreshing, wetting, glistening on thirsty leaves. Thirsty for refreshment, thirsty for drink
like our souls, thirsty for you O Lord, to drink in your way, your life and be refreshed
by what you call your 'living water.'
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Anne, servant of the Lord.
