Tomorrow at 7:30am Nancy will check in for her liver biopsy. Waiting for this test has felt long and difficult. She has not felt well for a couple of weeks, and we don't expect to have a plan to fight this current slide until we meet with her oncologist the day after Memorial Day.
Today at staff prayer meeting we discussed that familiar passage where Jesus offers us a light yoke. I confess I am not sure how to wear this yoke easily. But these days of unsettled uncertainty challenge us to live one moment at a time, to treasure the simple joy of partnering with Nancy as we walk this road, and to marvel at her capacity to think of others, even while she waits.
Then, too, I was reminded that the invitation of the passage was not primarily a custom made yoke that would make all of life painless. No, Jesus invites us to come to HIM. Pray for us as we walk through the next week. Ask JESUS call us to Himself in real ways, and for us to know the comfort of his embrace.
