May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Today's quote is actually just a portion of the longer version which is my favorite blessing.
In my life one of the most comforting things in my life is that I am held in the palm of God's hand. It is my hope that perhaps that comforts you as well. Even when the road does not rise up to meet you but takes you down low in the valley, even when the wind pushes against you for a season, even when the sun is covered by the clouds, and the rain comes down in a torrent instead of gently you are held, I am held, by God in the palm of his hand. You are not just held but in fact you are engraved on his hands. Engraved implies permanent, so we are each permanently imprinted on the hands of our Maker. May that bring you comfort no matter what the winds, sun, roads, and rain do in your life.
