My morning gratitude for:
- Blessing the new Kangaroo Crew ambulances at Texas Children’s Hospital on Tuesday. As a chaplain, I really appreciate getting to be the person who acknowledges the need for ritual in transitions. Many of those who aren’t spiritual and those that are really appreciate taking the moment to ask the divine to help them in their passion and compassion, and I love being that person.
- Working with families who are in the midst of crisis and or losing their children. Three times this week people have commented on how I seem to fit so well in my job and that I work with those deep emotions well. I appreciate the chance to reflect Gods love and peace and help the families see the gift of the child and the gift of their love- one of the greatest feelings ever but one you may only find in heat of a child dying.
- Aiden’s laugh, which I heard yesterday at church. It’s great to hear him having fun with friends.
- Joyce Van Houten and Carole Green, two ladies (mother and daughter) at church. They are always so supportive of my becoming a father and they bless me when I see them on Wednesdays and Sunday’s. They bless me by simply smiling over me and being joyful people!
