I am taking an hour to think about what the day is about. Good Friday has always meant a lot to me. I am missing being with my church family this week.
A lovely man from our congregation took the time to carve and polish a "Comfort Bird" for DH and I to use in our journey.
It is small enough to fit in your hand and wonderfully smooth.
Here is the message which came with it. I t makes me tear up just thinking about it - as I do daily when I read your wonderful posts.
I am a comfort bird.
I like to be held and gently rubbed.
Use me in ways that feel good to you.
I am a gift that keeps on giving.
NOT JUST A WOOD CARVING
Once I was a tree, took nourishment
from the earth, and light from the sky.
Time passed, then like all living things, I died,
changed form and became simply wood.
Through conscious awareness I was reshaped,
given new form and new meaning.
Now as a comfort bird, my existence shows
that your life too has significance.
HOW WONDERFUL PEOPLE CAN BE!!!!
