Moments that are bigger than you

A friend of the family shared that his father was taken of his ventilator and they are letting life, nature and the what is meant to be, be.  Being a devout Christian, I asked if he wanted to attend a mid-week healing service that the church he goes to offers, he agreed that would be a good idea and we invited some of our other friends to share in that night.

I sat with the group when I was there.  I must say, the group didn't seem that engaged in the service.  As the night progressed, we began praying for each other and others...  in the course of that moment I too prayed out loud with the group lifting many people up in prayer.  Healing touch and healing prayer is a gift I have.

I thought the night was about our family friend, and in some ways it very much was.  It was a gathering of those who care for him.  AND, it was a moment that was larger than the sum of all of us.  

We were meant to be together to pray, love and share compassion with one another in that moment of time. Life, the Sacred, and paths seems to allow that to happen.

Amen.

We can be the change we seek in this world, and in ourselves. 
One day.  One journey.  One person, at a time.
May peace, love and compassion be with you…AND from you!
