Fear of the unknown – that’s what came up recently.
One of my children suffered an injury and because it was at night, all the walk-in clinics were no longer open. We made the trip downtown to a hospital and checked into ER.
When the unknown looms largely, all the voices seem louder than usual. The list of “what-ifs” and “whys” are endless. I took deep breaths. I prayed. I cried. I asked for prayers. I sang. I held my children…more deep breaths.
I reminded my children that The Divine has us…regardless. This is an unpleasant surprise for us, but not a shock for The Divine. There is a plan here; The Divine plan…ever-unfolding.
I AM held.
We are held…by Heaven…always.
Our time of waiting included checking-in, followed by multiple medical personnel coming and asking us the s-a-m-e questions, pain meds administered, a trip to the vending machine for some soda, X-rays and finally the Doctor’s report. After not too terribly long a time of waiting (but what seemed like an eternity in the moment) we had answers!
Nothing broken – PRAISES and so much relief!
Certainly not the way we wanted to begin Thanksgiving break. We let ourselves sit with the sadness around that. We talked through all of it. We took deep breaths together and released it from our bodies.
Then, individually and collectively, we offered gratitude and praise for each other and all that was on our hearts.
I AM so grateful for each person in my life ~ relationships are my greatest asset!
What/whom are you grateful for this month/week/day of Thanksgiving?
Common Day Hero: When my world came crumbling down around me, so unexpectedly last year, you were kind and so readily available. I have seen your beautiful heart shine through more than ever in this season. Grateful for you. Today, I dedicate this post to you, RubyB.
