Sometimes it’s simple. If you’ve ever seen the inside of a chiropractor’s office, you’ve most likely experienced the relentlessly positive vibe that prevails among staff and doctors. My chiropractor is no different. (Believe me, it helps when you’re in pain!)
Today, I got chatting with one of the staff about my wife’s brush with cancer (she’s okay now). We agreed how an experience like that changes you- mortality slaps you in the face and compels you to want to enjoy every day that you’re given. This young woman in the office shared her way: she texts everyone in her family once a week just to say “I love you.” Not a group text, mind you, individual, personalized texts.
It lifts her to do it, she says, and according to her family, it lifts them too- often at just the moment they need it most. Funny how that works. Mother Theresa said – “if you want to change the world, go home and love your family.” Sometimes it’s that simple.
Now God doesn’t text or phone (probably not) but He/She left us words to help us live. One I lean on often is “I am with you Always” (Mathew 28). Until next time- stay safe, be brave and keep walking toward the light.
