Over the past couple of months, I have been reducing the amount of visits I have with my Stephen Minister. It has been a couple of weeks since I have seen her, so we got together today. The first thing she asked me was , “How is your Lent going?” This is one of the reasons she has been such a blessing in my life. She helps me to be spiritually grounded. I thought about the past month and shared some struggles and joys. As I have prayed about what I should be doing with my life, what came to mind was that this time is for healing. So, I have been trying to be patient with myself and take each day for what it brings. Continuing to clean out my parent’s house is a big task within itself. There are times when the treasures I find bring me to tears. And there are times when I am grateful to think about my parents in their lives other than when they weren’t well. Reflecting on all of this with my Stephen Minister did help me to see things in a more spiritual light. She has been an incredible blessing and I am glad that we will be able to remain friends.

I Found God today in the blessing of a spiritual friend.
