Who are the comforters in your world? You know who they are. When we hurt, it is just good to have them near.
My friend, Holli, gifted me with a quilt that wraps me in her friendship every time I snuggle into its warmth.
When we were little, Mama was gifted with a double wedding ring quilt that has always been my favorite. It came from a man we called "Uncle Bob" who lived in Missouri. My Great-Grandparents, Alva and Hulda, lived with him and helped care for him. He loved it when the family would converge on Lutesville for a visit. Grandpa and Grandma gave him comfort, and a house full of Bess's brought him joy.
I have friends who are easy to be with, even in the difficult seasons of life. I have family and friends who envelope me when my strength is spent. I like to think I do the same for them. God gave us each other, because we need each other.
"God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted." -Matthew 5:4
Such a great verse. Acts of comfort are imprinted on our hearts.
Today, I am grateful for those who comfort.
