There are times like yesterday when rest with little commitment is simply a gift. That is exactly what yesterday was all about. What was unexpected was a text message I found on my phone when I got home from church. My youngest daughter sent a message telling me I had been on her mind quite a lot these past many weeks. She noted I had (in her words) a lot on my plate. She then stated that she saw the weight I’ve been carrying these past few months and the grace in which I’ve carried it. Also was the statement that she sees the fierce faith I have especially in hardship. I read this and was just stunned for a minute. This was all so unexpected. The value of a compliment is deeply appreciated at certain times. God knows this and knows just the right person to deliver it. 

Taking care of each others’ hearts is very important. Most men aren’t as good at this as our counter parts are. They are a wonderful gift to us from God Himself!
