“Jesus Wept”
Jesus knew as He was traveling to Bethany that Lazarus had died.
Jesus knew as He met with Mary and Marha that Lazarus would be raised from the dead.
Jesus knew – and yet He wept.
He wept because knowing the end of the story doesn’t mean you can’t cry at the sad parts.
Being compassionate and empathetic with people is not about being right or correcting emotions.
It’s about entering in a burdensome place with people
and choosing to bear it with them to help them through it.

A small pre-dawn melt-down this morning.
Poor Ms. Pepper retreated to her crate but now she is back by my side.
Step by step, moment by moment.
Lord, I am so glad that You are with me.
I could not walk this path alone.
Thank You for a support system that reaches far and wide – From the Atlantic to the Pacific –
for friends like Effie who sit beside me, who hold my hand, and who cry with me.
Only You could have made this possible,
