Do not fear your death. For when that moment arrives, I will draw my breath and your soul will come to Me like a needle to a magnet.
~ Mechtild of Magdeburg
Sheltering. That's a wonderful word. Very strong. I remember a wonderful little phrase that says a faithful friend is a sturdy shelter. We need shelters in life. We need sheltering from our parents when we are young. We need the shelter of good friends. I feel as if that's something we're really called to be for one another – is shelter.
