"It is amazing to be given the chance to care of another. It is an honor to have someone trust you. No, you never want anyone to rely on you or be dependent upon you instead of God. But trust? That is a beautiful thing that must be above all, respected. I say this after talking to my friend in the hospital. Twice she has called me and all I can do is talk, or hum, or read a story. Twice she has fallen asleep on the phone.
"There is rare so sweet a thing as to be there for someone; of this, I am convinced.
"I remember crying on my brother's shoulder, trusting him. How vulnerable to trust, but also, how so very comforting and liberating.
"Lord, protect our relationships and help us to care for one another. In Jesus' name Amen."
