Today you can create a miracle for someone you love

What would you do if you knew someone you love had only a short while to live? Would you treat them differently? Love them more? Do more? Or would you know you are doing all you are called to do at this moment in time?

It’s amazing how many people will change behaviors when they hear the news, “Your family member has only a few days/weeks/months to live.”

The reality is, we only have today and yet, we so easily forget. We say, “I can tell them tomorrow how much I care.”

I’ve got news for you, you don’t have tomorrow. You have today.

Whatever it is that you are incomplete in, begin today to create completion. If there is a relationship that requires healing, begin in this moment to start the process. It can be something as simple as a phone call, letter or visit.

If you have been thinking of sending your parent a card or letter just to say you care, what’s stopping you? Why not stop what you are doing and write a short note, put it in an envelope and mail it today?

The miracle you can create in the life of an elderly parent (if you are blessed to still have them) is one that no amount of money or material goods can replace. It is truly a gift from the heart that is only one you can give and one they will be so blessed to receive.

Miracles happen in a moment. Love happens by choice. Blessings abound with each breath we take. Life holds the memories of the moments, choices and breaths we consciously choose.

Beautiful Kathleen

Even with the best of intentions of resolving conflicts, being more loving, showing up in times of pain and difficulty, we can get so caught up in our stuff that we miss the opportunities to be present and loving with people. How often we can wish we turn turn back the clock to do something different or be more than we were in that moment.

A great reminder my friend!

Blessings,
Lorraine

Dear Kathleen,

As Lorraine just said: what a great reminder my friend!

Many years ago - way before I was even born - my great grandfather died suddenly in his sleep. My grandfather had planned to visit him in the morning in order to resolve a recent conflict... but it was too late.

Needless to say my grandfather taught me at a very young age the lesson to always create completion - no matter what!

However, a good reminder as the one you just provided us is highly welcome!

Blessings,
Chantal
