Touched By Angels

     I am in awe today of my life and how blessed I truly am. I am humbled in the face of what I call problems, after seeing what real problems look like today. All I can think is “I am so blessed.” My worst days will never come close to being as bad as some peoples best day. I am blessed to have had every bad day that I have ever had, because it was the bad days that led me to where I was today.     

     I spent part of my day today volunteering as a Reflexologist at the Southwest HIV Center in downtown Phoenix.  It was easy to not let my own thoughts as to what to expect get in the way of the experience, because I had no idea what this day would bring. Not halfway through my first appointment I knew where I would be sitting this same time next week.     

     During my time at the center three different and very unique gentlemen were presented to me. Each with their stories, their fears, their dreams, and their realities that come from living with HIV. I felt like Ebenezer being visited by the three ghosts on Christmas Eve. Each one showing me a piece of themselves that reflected back to me a part of my own story and reminding me to be thankful for every chapter. Like everyone I have my moments when I let the world weigh me down a little, but most days I am truly grateful for my life. Forgive me if I seem to be over expressing my gratitude tonight but, I don’t expect that one can feel as grateful on a normal day in life as they do on a day when they were touched by angels. Like I was today.                 Tonight I find myself with a tear in my eye , a wide open heart and wondering, could I do this every week? From the deepest part of me I know that not only can I do it every week, I wish that I could do it everyday. Thank you all for touching my life today.  Thank you Spirit for allowing me to serve this way. I am so blessed.

Wow Jeanie! What a blessing to have you at the center...and more than that, I love how you can see the divine order in it all. As you pour you also drink...isn't it lovely?

Thank you for saying Yes:)
