Her husband attended a Sunday school class I taught, but I
didn’t really know her. Charlie ask me
to start visiting with them, for she was dying and I was a hospice volunteer
for VITAS. Her last stages of life where
very stressful for her and the family, and as I walked out into the evening after
her passing I was physically exhausted, but filled with an expanding sense of
life. Most mornings I pray for the
courage, faith, and life energy to be filled with an ever expanding sense of
life. It’s so easy in a cancer journey
to be narrowed by fear, self-pity, and loss of hope, lessening our sense of
things and shrinking our hearts. I have
learned that by sharing the seeds of my expanding sense of life in the morning with
others, my heart like an opening flower touched by morning dew opens more fully
to life moments. Expand your sense of
life today!
