That candle is me at the end of a long week, and the restoration God will do is at least as miraculous as if he were to grow another 6 inches onto that lit stub.
I'm re-reading the Psalms yet again these days. This time I'm reading them out loud which is helping me to stay focused and fully present to what God is inviting me to.
Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the shining stars to you. Deep peace of the gentle night to you. Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
When Joe comes home from working nights he flops his cap down on the kitchen table. It is an Irish sculls cap and when he wears it with his mask at work they say he looks like a Southie (Irish part of Boston) bank robber. I just like the way it looks on my kitchen table and I’m glad he’s not a bank robber. My sister had to get some scans in Boston and spent the week at my mums. I had them up for dinner one night.

I love this verse and have prayed it often.
