I still struggle with thoughts that I could have done better for my mom and my dad. Today, a friend sent me a reflection that said in part:

I have acted in the best way I could at a given time, and many times it was more than anyone could reasonably expect. In fact, some of my efforts may have produced wonderful, long-term effects of which I am unaware.

They were beautiful, heart warming words sent by a thoughtful friend and I very much appreciated it.

I Found God today in encouragement by a thoughtful friend.
