what do you do when so much is going on that ....well, i don't even know how to finish that sentence.
let me put it another way; do you find it easier, or more difficult to support others (family, friends) when you are going through things your self?
i just spent the weekend with a dear friend who's family is going through a very difficult time.
we are as well, but in a totally different way.
it was a really amazing weekend for me.
i felt so supported, but it was in the chance to serve another that i was able to be at peace with our situation.
let me just clarify that it was not a "misery loves company" sort of thing.
it was that in the distraction of service i was able to see my own situation for what it was.
God speaks to us all in different ways. Yesterday i encountered Him at mass, in the Eucharist. but the night before it had been on my couch, nursing my baby beside a friend, as she nursed hers. It is in the dirty dishes, the mess of diapers, the broken heart of a friend, when things seem so overwhelming, God speaks.
are you listening today?
more importantly, are you responding?
