Not crazy … just sad.

I couldn’t sleep last night. I won’t bother to list out all of the “reasons” why … but it was hard and scary and I was incredibly troubled in my spirit.

At one point, I turned to Fred and said, “I think I’m going crazy.”
To which he replied: “You’re not crazy, Tara. You’re just sad.”

I could never merit this husband! This friend.
Such kindness and mercy.
All of my freakiness not driving him away–but even back in our courtship, just bringing out more of his stable, solid, patient love.

Thank You, God, for Fred!
And thank You for Your kindness and grace, reflected in my husband.

Blessed Thursday to you all–
Remember! It’s OK to be sad at times.

Your friend,
Tara B.

PS
Soph was so sweet last night … actually she was ROTTEN, but what was sweet was when she turned to Fred and me and said, “Maybe you could pray for me.” And we said, “What a good idea!” And so we did. What a grace!
