Many of us have just experienced Thanksgiving and the joys of togetherness with family and friends! Yet, we know that this time of year can also bring seasons of want for those around us…
The “Nothing to Protect” message HERE from Franciscan Press’ Minute Meditations is a good one on the heels of this holiday. Especially noteworthy is the opening line:
“Compassion flourishes when we have nothing to protect and everything to share.”
Coming away from Thanksgiving times strengthened and ready for the upcoming Advent season, the Nothing to Protect imagery is fantastic. May we be equipped, energetic and ready to give this language of love to all, with our mouths, eyes, ears, hearts, hands, feet and all…
Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
