Today was kind of a strange day. After looking into Captain's eyes, and going to bed, I woke up feeling rather badly. My back and legs ached, and it felt like something was sitting on my chest. I didn't know what it was, but perhaps it was my body getting used to being back on the boat. Since we had served on the island for those 2 weeks, I hadn't realized the toll it took on me until now. So, I rested most of the day, not really feeling motivated to do anything.
I could, however, see my love's ship far off, and felt comfort in knowing he was abiding near. I went into the galley to get something to eat, but found myself just grabbing at what was available whether it was good for me or not. So, later, my stomach suffered. I felt sad I had chosen poorly then. I really needed to eat right to help me get well.
Captain kept sailing on the smooth seas. Today, however, it was overcast and seemed to add to my sickness and down feelings. So, after I ate, I went back to bed, hoping that when I woke up, all would be well. I lay awake for awhile thinking about the look in His eyes yesterday, and just imagining this was starting to make me feel better already.
"Love heals," I heard the Spirit say to me. "It is the atmosphere I work in that makes all things new." I pondered this, and then saw the importance of me continuing to open my heart, not only to receive, but to give Love, and how Captain uses that to bring about His healing. With those beautiful and life-giving truths resting in my soul, I peacefully went off to sleep once again.
