STRENGTHEN

 


Sometimes, the best way to #strengthen a bone or a body or a world-weary heart is to rest. 

I don't enjoy the necessity of slowing down. I don't enjoy the difficulty of even a short trip by car: hobble down the stairs, remove the boot, drive, park, put on the boot, hobble into my destination, repeat. But I am using my time more judiciously. I am deciding whether I truly need to leave the house. I am asking for help (daughters make great chauffeurs). I am slowing down so that my leg will strengthen.

May I have the grace to not just accept this time of healing, but relish it. Where do you need to rest to find strength?
