Day 132 - Way 132

****

It takes a village to raise a child.

Now obviously this is not a ploy to get you to buy Hillary Clinton's book (by the same title) instead, this is my attempt to report on the miracle I have discovered that is most valuable to all people around the world.
I would like to change the verbiage of this proverb slightly, to read:
It takes a relative, a friend, a neighbor, a village, a country, and the world to allow one human being to be their very best self.

I honestly believe that we are not in this thing alone and we are not meant to face any of it alone. I believe in a loving Father in Heaven that wants to be with all of his children always. Directing them, leading them, giving advice, protecting them, providing love and support to them. I also believe that in order for him to allow us to use our agency, he knew he couldn't be here face to face, telling us exactly what he expects us to do and exactly what will make us happy. So in his wisdom and love, he gave us family, neighbors, friends, villages and people around the globe to be his hands, his voice, his love. It is up to us to reach out for his help through those he has provided in our path that will lift us and strengthen us. John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

In his love and mercy he has given us people, other human beings that struggle and have challenges and at times will need you for support, but will also be there for you to buoy you up and give you peace in your heart in your time of need. I am grateful that this week, I was able to realize that I am not in this alone. I can and must lean on the strength of those that love me to give me hope in times of weakness. For any of my friends or family or global readers, please lean on me when you need strength. I want to be His hands, His love.
