a very short post with an extra long title

So, yesterday, with its medical appointments and cluster headaches 
and broken sandals and mean strangers... was one of the worst days. 

But God, in His great kindness, provided comfort and hope and
the reminder that all things serve His purpose - even Mondays.

This afternoon, I opened a surprise package from an unfamiliar name - 

a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend - who read this little blog and 
is undergoing Lyme treatment and wanted to pen her own encouragement.

And, honestly, I have never been so convinced that when pain comes, 
nothing helps more than these little traces of the love of Christ.
