Yesterday I was at lunch with a friend. We mentioned being in tough situations and just wishing God was able to sit next to us and converse - a listening ear, some guidance, acknowledgement that we're on the right path, sorting out options, be that presence when we need one.
And I mentioned there are times when I think, "Ok, I don't need someone in a chair to listen to me, because I can turn to my Higher Power." And yet there are times when I'd like a physical body to sit with me.
My friend agreed, and we continued on with our conversation. And then I was struck with this thought - I am sitting here talking to God; the God within all of us. We have friends, live conversations with them and when the communication is revealing, perhaps that is God talking to us.
Cancer has taught me to reach within to find my strength, and healing has taught me that I do need others to affirm my wanderings.
This man is my companion; he sits with me.
