Isaiah 40:10-11
See, the Lord God comes with might, and his arm rules for him; his reward is with him, and his 
recompense before him. He will gather the lambs in his arms, and carry them in his bosom, and gently lead the mother sheep.

While hiking in New Zealand, I bunked with a couple of women from Australia - a mother and daughter. 
The daughter was a mother herself and described to me a life of painful relationships and financial uncertainty. 
Though not a person of any particular faith, she freely confessed that she survived all the difficult times 
because she said, "I have me mum." Her "mum" is a woman of enormous vitality and passion. There were times, she admitted, 
that even the greatest of comforters need comforting. God quickly offers comforting to comforters.

Come, Lord Jesus, with your comforting arms, your compassionate heart and your mission to save. Amen
