The air just smells different on a Friday I think;) With another beautiful weekend ahead I am reminded so much of the preciousness of people. During the week its so easy for me to get focused on work and getting things done and sometimes forget the moments that make life what God's heart desires it to be...connecting with Himself and with others in love. This weekend actually Im headed to Swan River Mb. a very special friend of mine experienced someone close to her head to Heaven. As I was thinking about how important it is for us to connect with others on their journey and wherever they find themselves, I was reminded of Jesus. His heart of compassion, His heart of genuine love, Jesus went to people in the midst of their most painful moment. At the death of His friend Lazarus, He came to where he was buried....John 11.33-35 “When Jesus saw (Mary) weeping and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit...” “Jesus wept.” Jesus physically grieved with Mary and Martha, His friends.
Wherever those close to you are at know that you can offer something as they are walking through the painful parts of life. Jesus came. He wept with them. Sometimes thats all that someone needs. More than that, when we as Christ empowered people....who have the resurrecting power of Christ in us come and gather with those on a painful journey, whatever the pain is...... the Life and Hope and Healing and Power that transcends all other power comes out...because its all about Jesus and there are connections, healings and people who are changed as a result of "being there" because HE IS.
Have a blessed and transforming weekend*
Mary
