Surrounded by Love

I was blessed to witness a beautiful display of love at a recent Grief Share meeting. One of the attendees is an elderly woman who since the last series has started using a walker. She is a joy to be around and has the cutest smile and giggle.

There were several women in attendance and at the end of the meeting they swarmed around this sweet little lady to make sure she was taken care of before going out in the bitter cold. One helped her up off the couch, another assisted her with her coat making sure every snap was securely fastened. Still another gently helped her with her gloves making sure her precious hands would stay warm.

She stopped at the refreshment table where another woman filled a bag with her choices of cookies to take home with her as she eagerly took a bite of her favorite one. Step by step another walked with her to the waiting car outside, making sure she had assistance should she need it.

For most of the women, this was the first time they had met this lady which only added to the beauty of the scene. It was a reminder of how fully God’s love surrounds us. How He takes care of every detail. His love has many hands and many willing hearts.
