18 July 21 – Sunday 16B (COCU 48B)

YOU CAN’T DO IT ALL
(Mark 6:30-34, 53-56)
Brim full episodes:
scenes of busy-ness, teaching,
healing, need for rest.

But there is no rest
compassionately tending
those hungry for love.

We can get caught up
worried, so many to love
and not enough time.

We are not Jesus,
neither can we do it all:
just do what you can.

Caring for others
at the expense of self-care
borders on self-harm.
