Debm55 update V

[JMCKUSICK]

239. I love your post nocoincidences because it's got me thinking.

I think circumstances sometimes require us to embrace roles that might appear beyond our seeming capacity.
I've made friends here during this personal crisis that will create blessings and miracles that far outweigh the extra burden embraced in the moment that requires it.
So many of you have embraced me without regard to your personal convenience because your spirit required it of you. I am a forever changed man as a result of that, with the most important change being that my heart and soul are so much more open, receptive and yes, more capable of giving where the calling finds me.
There are countless members that I could only hope to be able to touch in the way that I have been or the way they happen to need it.
I spent the last 3 decades in various states of isolation and it was only out of absolute desperation that this miracle of giving reached my soul meaningfully.
Ideally, Debbie would be taking care of Rich, and I would be resting and healing, and every persons needs would be met by those who have room to give without burden.
Debbie was one of a hundred footprints in the sand that carried me when I couldn't walk. I would have volunteered to update for any of you that a bond would have permitted.
You all have given so lovingly to me and not a single person has in any way shape or form implied that it was a burden and I can only hope to have carried that example one step further out of honor.
I have been warmed by 1st Corinthians Chapter 13 in one way or another since I was a young boy.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude".
"It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth".
"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends".

If I can, I will. If I can't, I'll try and I pray my capacity for the first will grow to my dying day.

I've been given a gift of renewal. Please be assured that the surgeon played an important but through my eyes a small role in that.
You on the other hand, you give my soul life every day!
Love,
John
