For today’s reflection I wanted to send along a meme I found on social media that I thought expressed a very helpful sentiment for us personally – but also in our work here with one another and with residents.

Sometimes the most caring thing is simply companioning with someone else in the difficult thing they are going through and assuring them that we will be there with them through it.

Friends, we know that life is short and we have too little time to gladden the hearts of those who travel with us. So be swift to love and make haste to be kind and may the blessing of God or all that sustains you, keep you safe, grant you peace and fill you with all that you need, just for today. Amen

Warmly,
Joel
