Carried by Love

The below paragraph "You're carried by Love" was copied directly from a blog entry by a breast cancer patient who battled with the disease for 5 years before she passed away recently. I acknowledged that this is not copyright, but i just couldn't resist to read this over and over again, so i decided to just copy and put it down here.

I do not know this lady personally, yet i feel somehow connected to her and inspired by reading her blog. I find it quite unbelievable too because i seldom let much emotions came over me when i read others' blog. I don't usually have strong spiritual approach to life, i am not a christian nor catholic in nature, let alone that this lady had mentioned God in most, if not all of her entries in her blog, i am influenced by her! Is my hormones wrecking havoc on me again?

This was what she shared:

You're Carried by Love
I rest my head on the pillow without much rest in my heart.
To-do's swirl around in my mind.
Tasks fall heavy on my shoulders. I silently pray, "Lord, give the grace for me to carry all of this."
It seems I hear a whisper in response, "Ask instead for the grace to let Me carry you."
I once saw a child carrying a rock too big, determined to take it home. Sweat beading, little feet laboring. Then Daddy came and swooped up His girl. Joy. Giggles. Grace.
She still held the rock but it no longer weighed her down because someone held her.
I fall asleep with a smile...thoughts as light as love.

As i read this, my vision started to blur, i am somehow reminded again to love my love ones unconditionally, especially my closest kins, my hubby and my 2 girls. May she rest in peace and God bless her family (husband and 3 young girls) particularly during this difficult period.
I am touched indefinitely.
