More Than Thoughts & Prayers

'Mary's Song' by Australian artist Dianne Minnaar.

I've had so much time to read. It's not as if I don't mark out pockets of quietude with the Bible. I do. This week, I read even more, and whispered extra prayers for the faeriefolk. Life is too fragile. We all want loved ones to be well and happy.

I remind myself, as much as we pray, I do my best to keep the faeriefolk near too. They've been a better friend to me, than I to them. It's not about keeping score. It's about being there. My friends have definitely been here for me. I'm just not sure if I have been there for them. I need to do better!

[46] And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord. [47] And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. [48] Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. [49] Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name. [50] And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him. 

~ Luke 1:46-50, Douay-Rheims
