Dear Reader:

One of the Ya Ya’s (aka Tima-Libby) called a couple of days ago and she saw a whole different perspective on the eye to eye, hand clasp to hand clasp ” I love you” ritual.

As I described to her the astonishing electrical pulse that ran between Ben and me…this sudden clarity came over me that what just happened was and still is the secret passage to the heart… to feeling loved… to life.

Libby thought it was a new discovery that could change lives . I told her I didn’t know about that but was still exhilarated about Ben’s and mine’s experience.

And then another experience unveiled Tuesday. My physical therapist had come to get me to walk the halls before going to the therapy workout room and suddenly we came across a couple of aides and a nervous patient fighting back tears…

I recognized her! She was in the table group where Ann and I had gone for the hot cocoa event several weeks back! And now she needed someone badly while waiting on the ambulance… she had suffered two heart problems earlier and apparently had just returned from the hospital the day before.

I could tell there was a glint of recognition in her eyes too…I took a deep breath , then picked up her trembling hand while Pam and the aides were conversing.

I looked her straight in the eyes, squeezed her trembling hands and said ” I love you!” Then the magic happened again. She stared intently back at me as if I were from somewhere else.

She whimpered that she didn’t want to go back to the hospital again. Quietly I whispered ” Honest ly …I wouldn’t either … BUT we are turning this over to God… and He will know if your heart needs more attention or not and you and I both know … we put our trust in God and follow His Path… He will make the right decision for you… You Are a Child of God.

She looked up again staring at me and asked if I would tell her I loved her again. I held it together long enough to do so… electric pulses evident throughout.

***I think she was taken back to the hospital and I am fervently praying for her return!

There is something that is so soothing in a crisis or a befuddled state that can hit the mark directly to the heart… no Cupid arrows needed!

So until tomorrow… Take a deep breath of courage and tell another human being he or she is loved and then let God seal the deal… the ultimate giving to others when most needed .

Mandy came over yesterday bringing new decor and some new looks! Always fun!

Have a great day and spread the love… it will go farther than you will ever have imagined!
