weary + rest

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 

and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

“Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
With your one wild and precious life?”Mary Oliver

“Sometimes I need
only to stand
wherever I am
to be blessed."

 Mary Oliver

 

"And only you can see the good
In broken things.
You took my heart of stone
And you made it home
And set this prisoner free." 

Bethany Dillon

 

 

“We sometimes choose the most locked up, dark versions of the story, but what a good friend does is turn on the lights, open the window, and remind us that there are a whole lot of ways to tell the same story.” 

Shauna Niequist  

I am not alone...

 

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."Matthew 11:28-30
