Loving Your Neighbor: You're Doing It Right

Broke my ankle Friday.  Thought it was just a bad sprain, but no.   It was actually a revelation about my church family.

Thank you.

For the help bringing my bags in.

For the late night ice pack.

For the shared Advil.

For the distraction of board games.

For the annoying prods to go to the hospital.

For the offer of grocery shopping.

For the casserole.

For the kind words and prayers.

"The ultimate perfection of the contemplative life is not a heaven of separate individuals, each one viewing his own private intuition of God; it is a sea of Love which flows through the One Body of all the elect, all the angels and saints, and their contemplation would be incomplete if it were not shared, or if it were shared with fewer souls, or with spirits capable of less vision and less joy."
--Thomas Merton
