I received a text from a friend early this morning (7:12 A.M.). She wasn't able to attend a planned meeting this morning because ... This is her text:
Our son is having a breakdown and we have to fly out to Seattle ASAP. I don't know when we will return. I'm sorry for any inconveniences. (two emojis of praying hands)
Although I know their son is an adult, my immediate response was "Just take care of your boy."
A little later I read the Unity Daily Word. How fitting that it is Comfort. The affirmation is
Journeying to Jerusalem within, I arrive at perfect peace.
And a bit of the mediation:
Whenever I find myself feeling in need of comfort, my pilgrimage begins. As I relax, I envision each inhalation bringing me closer to the Christ presence within my heart. Exhaling, I feel my burdens lift, lightening my load a little at a time. Step by step, breath by breath, I release my earthly concerns.
This message is to me but I also take it as a message about my friend and her family. I hold the thought of peace for her even if she cannot right now.
