Recent events in my
life brought that old saying to the forefront of my heart. There are so many
forms of “family” that continue to shape-shift the traditional interpretation
of that word. This shape-shift offers each of us an invitation to examine our
personal definition of family. As we do that, what may become apparent are the many
people in our life outside our
biological family that provide us unconditional love. These special people
share our unique views, listen when we need to share something that lies heavy
on our heart, and love us enough to be completely honest with us. These are the
people we choose to spend time with
because we feel safe. Dr. Phil would say they are our “soft place to land.”
This morning my
heart wishes to thank those “birds” with whom I flock as I meander through
life’s “adventures” and experience the full gamut of emotions that go with that
journey. With these beautiful, amazing
“birds” the sky’s the limit as I soar to new places and explore the new territories
of my wildest dreams.
There truly is no
limit to what the unconditional love of another person can do with and for each
of us. There is an old gospel hymn that goes, “on the wings of a snow white
dove, he sends his pure sweet love.” These “snow white doves” that help us find
our wings and soar, are truly a gift from our Creator!
