Acts of Love

I have watched as my dear wife Sandra has made a gift of her life. Everything she has done for our special needs daughter, and all of us who are blessed to be in her presence, is full of love and selfless service. 

Sandra models the heart of God. Unconditional love is a form of worship and a source of joy. Let us seek to uplift everyone we meet.

As we uplift others we are uplifted in the process. Compassion is self-fulfilling because in truth, as we give to another, we give to ourselves. Every kindness, every smile, every act of love benefits ourselves and the whole world.

You are never excluded from love

In our challenging times, the arms of unconditional Divine love embrace us.

The Divine is with us always. Unconditional love is an essential aspect of our nature. We are all immersed in the beauty of life.

Love is in the breath you take, in the hands you hold, in the thoughts you think, and in the sun that warms your face.

You are never excluded from love.

Grief

Now a week after Ashley's passing from this earthly life, I find myself affirming her life, hearing her calling me to continue, and seeing her everywhere. Even in grief, she comforts me and brings meaning to my life.

Nothing is normal. It never was for us and it never will be. Ashley is now free from pain. There are no more seizures. She is at peace. And I feel her sending peace and unconditional love to all of us.

I have asked my family to surround me with her pictures. I need to see her ageless, angelic face, especially her perfect little nose.

I weep freely reminding myself and Sandra that every tear is love.

I look forward to continuing to share her story of unconditional love.

In Love...Ashley

 

If we could only know...

If we could only know and accept how much we are loved. If we knew how much we are loved, our fear would dissipate and our inner critic would disperse. We are a part of a loving universe.

When we accept that we are part of a loving universe, we begin to see our Divine essence.

We know we are never alone. We are always enveloped in love. 

We can transcend the petty squabbles of our ego and see the Divine light in ourselves and others.

We can move through life with grace.
