One of the changes that has occurred is the timbre of my daily
conversations. Before I began this
transitional part of the journey very few of those with whom I interacted daily
were keen on real conversations about the Father and his daily conversation
with us. The few who were willing to be
a part of that conversation are still there even though they are distant.
In my current environment the things of God are central to
conversation, daily practice, and life.
Just yesterday I saw the power of the Divine in a frail woman who chose
to spontaneously pray for me, my children, and our needs. This is not the first time she has been significant
in this part of my journey. She prayed
and I wept over her words that reminded me so clearly of the love and care that
the Father has for me in all things.
There are those who are distant with whom I can have real
conversations and at least two of them, Jeff and Alex have stayed true in their
friendship and support. My father wounds
have made real conversations with adult men difficult all my life. These to friends transcend that barrier
because of their kindness and love for me.
Part of my gratitude story is their friendship
I am becoming acquainted with men who also are transcending
that barrier. It is fearful for me to
confront the destruction of a wall which has its foundation in my earliest life
experiences; some beyond memory. Still,
I am grateful for those who hold these loving real conversations with me based
on faith and following Christ.
We are supposed to be the people in whom others are offered
the opportunity to see the love of the Father, the precious fellow traveler we
have in Jesus, and the power we have from the Holy Spirit. The real conversations with these human
fellow travelers are showing me the faces of the Divine in ways they do not
even realize.
It is in the love and care of these fellow travelers that I
find my heart sustained and grateful for the love of a God who is literally
singing out an entire universe just to make sure we see that love. Your company in these daily writings is also
part of that blessing Dear Reader. You
are part of my fellow traveler gratitude story.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
