a little something



Salome' fell asleep with one hand holding the hem of my skirt.
She curled up on the floor beside the purring kitty, partly under my chair while the other hand held tightly to her lavender blanket.
Her whole attitude changes when Mommy is close enough to touch.
At the end of my day, which sometimes feels more like the end of my rope, I need a touch too.
Tonight it came in the tender form of this verse from Matthew 11:28
"Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
