A hand on my shoulder
Recently, I had a conversation with a friend who was sharing with me the experience he had when on a long walking trek. He had a guide who was with him on this trek who walked behind him gently supporting him, at times placing a hand on his shoulder and holding him and even preventing him from accidentally tripping or falling over. As we discussed this experience my friend said to me, there were times when I didn’t sense his hand on me, however …as I think back the hand was always there even if I was not aware of it. I love this story, and I love that my friend shared it with me. As I ponder that amazing story, It caused me to think about Faith. And the hand of God upon my shoulder and maybe yours also, even if we are not always aware of it. For the countless times when I could have fallen or tripped up. I asked my friend if I could share this story without mentioning names, and even making the spiritual connection. (He said it was ok btw) Spirituality is about care, deep deep care
