The Sky is Rearranging A journey from pieces to completed puzzles

As almost all of us do, each day I open my inbox to see what it holds.  Junk…delete.  Advertisement…delete.   Recently there was a note from a friend that I have not had contact with in quite a while.  In her note she told me that she had not read my blog in quite a while but was motivated to open the link on this occasion.  The words in the post helped her to understand that the only guarantee in this life is we will all suffer trials and tribulations, none of us is immune.  There on the screen were the words that she needed to see.  The post she read touched her heart.   The words resonated with her.  They opened her heart to possibilities.  They gave her courage and strength to share her trials with someone else.   They gave her strength to explore the possibilities.

I wonder how often I have touched others with my words or my volunteer work.  I wonder how many times I have let that opportunity to reach out go past me.  Was hurrying to the store really more important than stopping to finish the phone conversation?

This note made me realize that each of us is hurting in some way.  We all  need someone to listen to us, encourage us, and stand by us, if only with thoughts and prayers.

And so I let the job application sit for a few more minutes.  I hit reply to send my thoughts, my love and my prayers.
