Yesterday I went with my sister and her almost eight month year old to a memorial service for a dear family friend.
I left inspired, wanting to be more like this person and simply do more, and reach more people with kindness and generosity and acceptance.
Something was said at the service which I don’t want to ever forget (and I may have totally mixed up the quote but ah well): “Life is a balance between looking back at what’s lost and looking forward at what’s left”.
Pondering…
It was a “gift of Grace” to have shared the Celebration of the life of this woman with several members of our blended family…..honoring the past, sharing love and kindness with each other in the present and planting seeds of love and support for the future…..may we all continue to be gifts of love for one another, in our own unique ways as we go forward on the rest of our journeys!
