Steadfast companions

Morning: Psalms 41, 52; I Kings 13:1-10; Philippians 1:1-11
Who are the important people along your life’s way?  For me, it is those who are quietly there no matter what.  They neither cheer me nor scold me but are simply reliable companions – sharing bread, listening, enjoying coffee together and a chat about nothing and everything.  In the stories of Jesus, the 12 disciples are front and centre, but they are not with him in his death.  They disappear.  Jesus’s quiet, loyal and steadfast companions – the women who have been with him all along, and Joseph … They are the ones who attend to his burial.
