The mixture of ups and downs is always the same – a mixture
of good and bad, happy and sad. But the face of those posting seems to rotate
and take its turn. We all get of dose of these various life happenings. So,
maybe it’s not so bad that we share – because at some point - we experience it
all. It sure is encouraging when someone “likes” what you wrote. It sure is
comforting when many comment “they will be praying”. It’s heart-warming to “see”
friends I haven’t seen in a long while; heart-warming to see my son’s smiling
face. Good to be aware of various health issues and causes. Good to join in.
Good to not feel alone in something.
It just struck me this morning, what a great, big world we
live in. What a great number of folks are out there… all living and feeling and
experiencing days and nights – and life, just as I am. And how coming alongside
through a simple “like” or “comment” can make all the difference in the world –
“like” can bring renewed strength and hope.
As I stated in my ABOUT section of this blog:
I believe people want to be known. People want to be heard.
Whether they express sadness, fear or joy… to have someone come alongside and
say “I see you. I hear you. I will remember you while you are going through
this”. There is an awesome power at work when we feel remembered. It says, “I
have time for you.” … “You have value…” Wow….
So, whether it’s a card or a phone call or a simple “like”,
let’s stick together. Let’s encourage and support each other in this journey.
And let’s do it often.
- You mean the world to me.
- Thank you for sharing. It’s been a great help.
- Your friendship has made this bearable. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
