A Journey Begun

A "WE" Blessing

Sometimes I notice the "small" things...perhaps even to the extent that I might read more into something than was intended. Perhaps I did so in this situation, but I don't think so, as I have seen this person's heart several times.

But with that in mind, let me share that I was extremely blessed the other day by a friend who used the word, "we". As she and I talked about my upcoming surgeries, she commented that hopefully the mastectomy would not be so bad, but the hysterectomy....well...she knew several who had gone through it, and "we" would have to be careful to really plan for it well.

Such a small word, but I was very touched: "WE" would have to plan. I was not alone. She was joining with me as this part of the journey loomed ahead (just as she has joined in from the beginning.) My heart was touched--this is a person who knows how to come alongside others.

Just two little letters...what a big blessing of strength and courage they give.

    What neat insight! We never know how our words might affect someone else.

    Thanks for the reminder!
