But then, God?
He just has this incredibly remarkable way of quietly whispering into our overworked hearts and souls, just when we least expect it. And so very often, just when we need it the most.
And this weekend, He did just that. Through the gentlest, kindest voice on Earth: a grandma’s full heart after spending the day with her grandchildren, especially in the midst of such unprecedented times.
“Just leave it all, sweetie. Leave the mess. I love having the mess around me, because it means you all were around us today. In fact, I may even leave it until tomorrow just so it feels like a piece of each of you is still here.”
Oh, sometimes, those messes feel like they will simply break you.
But the real truth?
Those messes are actually what absolutely make you and keep you whole and complete.
Because with the messes, come the greatest blessings of all.
