I'm feeling a bit frayed today. From the verb, "fray":fray

That's it. I'm feeling worn around the edges, rubbed threadbare by the dis-ease and car trouble and sadness and busy-ness of life on this earth. Like bits of me are hanging like loose threads as I try to keep everything tidy and running smoothly.
So it must be time for a little break. A little tea, a quiet place, a doggie by my side. And then I will open the Pages of healing and peace and joy. I will drink deep the Living Waters. I will be refreshed by the Word. I'll see you all when my frayed edges have been smoothed by the Maker.

...received with gratitude. Thank you, Rebecca!
Donna Rae - oh, we are also broken – we are also afraid. I never believed it when I was young and adults would say life is a struggle – and I would counter with "no - life is beautiful it's wonderful it's a gift" – and so many times it can be – but we know as we get older that if this is all there is – this just isn't enough – and THIS is hard. I just finished praying for you Donna Rae - for the frayed edges, for the hurt, for the strength to keep it all together – even as you are frayed. God bless you!
Such grace and kindness... thank you, Craig.
