I remember my dear old Kentucky Grandma Morrison saying to visiting friends, “Come and sit awhile.” I think it was C.S. Lewis who mentioned in one of his books that there was nothing any dearer than when two friends would sit around a fireplace and talk.
Sometimes in the dark of night when I think I can’t take any more or go another step, I ask my dear Lord and Friend to come sit awhile with me. I am not a mystic, as such, but in the rocking chair across from me in our dimly lit front room, I sense His still presence. Josh Groban’s song says it best-
When I am down and, oh, my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
