When someone we care about is in distress, we may not know what to say. We'd like to make the hurt go away and set everything right, but we feel awkward and powerless.
Sometimes the greatest gift we can give each other is our presence, our attention.
We know that each of us must find his or her own answers. There are many times when, much as we'd like to, we can't fix the problems of our friends, children, parents, or other family members. What we can do is show them by our presence that we care and are on their side. We can spend time with them or, if we're geographically separated, we can call or write. And we can be confident that the same Higher Power that supports us is also supporting those we love.
My presence today can make a positive difference to someone dear to me.

I'm here for you, just like you have been here for me. And yes, those Better Angels are still hoverin; around. I'm beginning to like them. They make me feel safe, and loved.
Peace

"Sometimes the greatest gift we can give each other is our presence, our attention."
I soooooo agree! Often, just being present with someone is so healing.
"And we can be confident that the same Higher Power that supports us is also supporting those we love."
Amen!
