Supporting one another

"Give them wisdom and devotion in the ordering of their common life, that each may be to the other a strength in need, a counselor in perplexity, a comfort in sorrow, and a companion in joy," The Book of Common Prayer.

What a beautiful world this would be if everyone had the above intention and the above level of support from others. Yesterday I wrote about our Circle of Support. It is sometimes easy to succumb to the temptation to notice which people are not supporting us, ones we may very well have had reason to expect would support us. But, that habit of noticing does not serve us. Better still to notice the people who support us as strengths in need, counselors in perplexity, comforts in sorrow, and companions in joy. I so appreciate each person who supports Dwane and me, and one of my intentions with this blog is for these writings and the comments from readers to serve as support for one another. I hope you have a wonderful day.
