Days spent adorning house and home, 
Lines in stores, texts on phone.
Online deals to peruse,
Cookies to bake and oh---
Ten pounds to lose.  (Ok, twenty)
 

When it all gets so busy, 
So hurried,
So fraught. 
When all makes you dizzy,
Here's a thought---
 

A hand waits anew,
A hand not so far,
Opened for you 
To come as you are.
      ------G. Hill

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
     -----Psalm 139:14

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
      -----Matthew 11:28
