Tonight I receive a gift I am not
expecting. A huge burden lifted off my shoulders as another joyfully picks up
my cross to carry for a while. I am caught off guard by how easily I allow her
to take it. I can’t remember a time when I thought this job belonged
to anyone other than me.
As sweet relief floods over me it
becomes clear that I’ve been given
another gift this week with the capacity to render the very same release, yet I
haven’t allowed myself to accept it.
We often think that holding on
tight will ease the pain and make us feel safe, but sometimes peace comes with
the courage to let go.
