I sat in deep thought, my mind in a state of despair for I had an overwhelming sense of distance from my son. Suddenly, I felt the soft breeze of calm, as one word, played over and over in my mind .....Love...... I realized that though I could not, perhaps change things as they were, the love that I felt for him, would see me through, and in time change things, for the power of love, is so very strong. In that moment I realized, that my Father was teaching me something, a soft lesson of love, a lesson I could apply, to all aspects of my life. Just in loving others, no matter what kind, friendship, family or heart love, our love always remains faithful, steadfast and often silent. Yet through this love, acceptance is given, judgments are not made, just unconditional love, as our Father has for us. Love is the essence of us all, it keeps us striving, keeps us willing to see clearer, to give our all at all times, as He did for us. With this realization, through tears I smiled, knowing this lesson would be one, never forgotten, one I will try to pass along, to all I touch, for I wish to be a true reflection, of my Lord.
