Savor




“I’ve seen them make the sick eat broth by holding it so close the savor draws them on.  Maybe misery has a savor too so if you’re near enough, sick though you be with your own sin, your heart can’t help but sup.”  -Buechner



I desire to be “near enough”... to the misery, the poor, the orphaned, the widowed, the abused, the fearful, the lonely, the broken.

Because my heart desperately needs a big “sup” of the broth. 

Healing from my own sickness.
