for you will deal bountifully with me

We are a little more than a week from Easter. If you have a loved one you who is dealing with incarceration or with post-release challenges, today is a good day to send a note. This is also true for folks who are home-bound or in nursing homes or dealing with mental or physical illness or social isolation, since being imprisoned in an uncooperative body has many similar challenges.

With my voice I cry to the LORD; with my voice I make supplication to the LORD. 
I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him. 
When my spirit is faint, you know my way. In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me. 
Look on my right hand and see-- there is no one who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me;
no one cares for me. 
I cry to you, O LORD; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living. 
Give heed to my cry, for I am brought very low. Save me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me. 
Bring me out of prison, so that I may give thanks to your name.
the righteous will surround me, for you will deal bountifully with me." 
                                                                                                                        Psalm 142:1-7 
Won't you write to them today. 
Tell them that you love them, and that God loves them more. 
Be the light in a dark place. 
Be the hope in a place of despair. 
Be the hands and feet of God today.
