My brother later told me he says this to everyone who asks how he's doing; but it stayed with me, especially struggling over an Easter week menu and trying not to leave out anything as I made out the shopping list. I was truly doing the best I could, and his silly little remark helped me to feel more settled afterward.
And then I bought some pretty jonquils.

Holy Week is hard work so it is a comfort to speak to others who are also finding it a struggle. All that is asked of us is that we do our best. We can do no more. God Bless You, Lisa. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Clare!
DeleteYou know, even when I am not my best self, I am doing the best I can at that moment--sometimes I just don't have the energy or resources to do more. Wishing you a blessed and happy Easter, Lisa.
ReplyDeleteExactly! And it keeps coming to me that it's far better to just stand before the Lord in my weakness and neediness, than to pretend I can do this and that and everything - it's more honest, certainly!
DeleteA very blessed Easter to you, too. xo
