Enjoying the company of good friends this weekend and into Holy Week. Although there's lots of work to do, it's amazing how that takes on a whole new perspective when shared with different people and looked at with fresh eyes. And how much more fun there is in the busyness knowing that there is the opportunity to relax in good company at the end of the day.
As Jesus journeyed resolutely to the cross, I wonder how much opportunity he had to be cared for by his friends and how much it changed things for him to be accompanied, even though he knew that, at the end of the day, his journey was one he had to make alone.
Altho' our ultimate journey on this earth must be made alone, there are very few parts of it that are not improved by the company of friends on the way. How different things become in the midst of sharing.
ReplyDeleteMany of Jesus friends deserted him towards the end of his journey on earth, Lord, help us to stay the course and be there for our friends through the highs and lows of our shared journey and to lighten the load as we go:)!
