| The power of love | Views: 902 |
The first line of one of my favorite songs is, “Sometimes it amazes me how strong the power of love can be.” This line is so alive in me right now. The day of my surgery could have been full of fear and the following day full of pain and weakness, but neither of those things happened. Starting the night before the surgery, I was overcome by a sense of calm that I can only attribute to the power of love. I had reached out to all our family and friends and asked for their positive energy and prayers and, in receiving them, I was surrounded by a bubble of protection. I felt radiant and strong. Tim and my Mom report that they could even see this when they looked at me. There was no way I could have been that strong on my own. This was the power of love carrying me along, protecting me, and delivering me safely home.
The gratitude I feel for this gift from everyone is so deep, it brings me to tears. I don’t know how I would have made it through without that bubble around me. We so often say, “You will be in my thoughts” or “in my prayers.” I want those who sent me their thoughts and prayers to know that it truly does make a difference. It made all the difference in the world for me and I will never forget it.

Thanks for your support -
You are so right. It would be hard to make it without the love, thoughts and prayers of others.
You have my love, thoughts and prayers for as long as you need them.
Hugs,
Joyce
Love, love, LOVE! It’s here, and it’s radiating toward you always.
