Blessings
Gratitude is for all seasons! I am so aware of the many
blessings in my life. I recently led a weekend retreat at Sinsinawa Mound
entitled “Walking the Path of Life: Exploring Life’s Transitions.” Seven people gathered not knowing one
another. Through the grace of God we became a community, able to trust our
inner longings and be a support to each other. This was truly a profound time
of grace.
On the last day we gave thanks for our blessings. As I reflected on my blessings I had an
overwhelming sense of gratitude for my ministry of spiritual companioning and
retreat facilitation. There are so many people who have invited me into their
hearts and entrusted me with their sacred stories. What an awesome privilege it
is to be with people who desire to go deeper. I am forever changed for good.
Each of us is called by God and given a mission. We need
others on that journey with us who are willing to reveal the movement of God
within. What are you discovering about yourself? What do you need to go deeper?
