Promising to pray once seemed a small gesture-- The least I could do. Now I know that praying is shouldering my sister's backpack. It is filled with heavy things that will strain my soul. Together, we will haul this burden to the throne of God Who Heals, Jehovah-Rapha. he'll sort through it, discarding and evaluating and taking the weight upon Himself. We'll leave the holy of holies weightless and guiltless. We'll seek more Pilgrims with bulging backpacks.

Marvelous sentiments, Bess; marvelous poem. PS Read your Blog: Good Luck on your vacation destinations; I've made it to some of those places, but I, too, yearn to see Australia, before I'm too old to enjoy it!

Bess, I love your message here, particularly the selfless ending - a pledge to "seek more pilgrims with bulging backpacks." Wonderful poem!
