Moving Forward
It is a challenge to move forward. It feels like a betrayal; if I move forward with my life I am forgetting about Laurence. Somehow if I stand still I will keep him close. If I get on with my life it feels like I will leave him behind.
In truth, I know I best acknowledge his legacy when I am living a life filled with love and faith.
So I move forward, not forgetting Laurence but taking him with me, remembering his love and celebrating his life. I thank God for blessing me with such extraordinary love.
Friendship Prayer
Received this beautiful prayer written by my friend Jennifer. I extend it with love to you.
Friendship Prayer
Friends are the gift of the season. Each one gives me insight, compassion, support, reflection, relevance, indulgence, joy and a glimpse of my soul.
Thank you Father for my friendships so steadfast through the years. Each one helps me through the jogs in the road and gives me hope when I think there is none to be found. I am so grateful for the gifts of your Spirit received through their sweet presence. Through your Holy Spirit they help me grow beyond my expectations.
Words and thoughts I keep hidden away are exposed to them. I am heard in their tears of compassion, honored in their silence, celebrated in their recognition.
My friends are the living examples of your gifts. They are the miracles in each day. I need look no further than their constant, sweet, tender, acceptance.
Through them I learn to be a part of this miracle of friendship. You bring me into the circle of this wondrous gift that envelops, encourages, and embraces me in love.
Blessings.
Missing You
“A soul mate is someone to whom we feel profoundly connected, as though the communicating and communing that takes place between us were no the product of intentional efforts, but rather a divine grace. This kind of relationship is so important to the soul that many have said there is nothing more precious in life.” Thomas Moore
Missing you Laurence.
Love
Occasionally on this amazing journey of life, we have the opportunity to meet someone who makes a difference in our experience of the world around us. Someone who listens with compassion, who gives without limits, whose beautiful smile brightens a dreary day and whose contagious laugh chases even the darkest clouds away. We meet someone who reminds us that faith is essential, that God is Love, Love is unconditional and the world is a wonderful place to live.
I am truly blessed because I met this person and he is my confidant, advisor, best friend and husband. I thank God each day for the life we share of Grace, Love and Joy.
Rev. Laurence Green made his transition from this earthly plane on October 1st after a long battle with cancer. He is deeply missed.
