Comfort
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. - Psalm 23:4
Wikipedia says: Comfort (or being comfortable) is a sense of physical or psychological ease, often characterized as a lack of hardship.
As I sat with my tea and cake I contemplated the word for today, comfort. I was nibbling on a lemon cake that is one of my all time favorites and had chosen my favorite tea. I felt comforted just sitting in the quiet of the morning with cake and tea. I am still sipping as I write to you, but the piece of cake is just a happy memory. For a few moments I could imagine a world of peace and joy and my heart was comforted.
Have you felt the need these days for comfort?
Maybe a cozy sweater, warm socks, a quilt to curl up in, a particular meal, a good cup of tea?
I struggle these days with the chaos of the world and the pandemic; so sometimes it is cake and tea. Maybe not great for the waistline, but it does quiet my soul for awhile.
A walk in the woods or even in my neighborhood comforts me also.
On Facebook I share a picture from my garden each day just for the comfort and joy it brings to others.
Just the act of going into the garden each morning to snap that pictures brings me comfort and joy also.
