"So, how's she doing?"

In every letter to the church Paul starts off with a single line. He does add a word "mercy" in a few introductions, but he always starts out...

"Grace and Peace to you"

...the introduction in my life the last few weeks has been,

"how is she doing?"

My response,"fine, she is doing ok. Ok."

But do you really want to know?
Really?
Depressed. Grieving. Hurting. Wounded. Tired.
And yet,
Hopeful. Thankful. Rejoicing. Comforted. Loved. Cared for. Blessed.

Resting in the love of so many.

Resting in her Abba Father's arms.

Grace given by a loving and caring Abba Father.
Peace beyond measure poured out by our Abba Father.

"So, how is she doing?"
Really?

Filled with Grace and Peace.
