I had a chance to pop into the chapel at Calvary hospital this week. I needed a brief moment to gather myself as I was feeling physically and emotionally exhausted.  On the lectern was the reading of the day.

The first reading was from the Prophet Isiah 40 25-31

The Lord God is almighty and gives strength to the weary. 

It doesn’t happen every time that a reading speaks directly to me but when it does it makes my heart feel lighter. I was so grateful to have words of comfort ready for when I needed them; words written 700 years before the birth of Christ that still ring true with their message. A message I so desperately needed yesterday. 

In this busy time I hope you find comfort in scripture, family, friends and the true joy of the season.

God bless,
