“Lasting effects in the lives of others
can come from small, simple acts."
- from The Twelve Gifts from the Garden
We all get chances to be instruments of blessings, healings, and answered prayer - to be the recipients of such too.
Often the acts are small, yet powerful, like the child who gave me a four-leaf clover after we talked about the message of The Twelve Gifts of Birth at the residential facility for children, where he lived.
That was more than 20 years ago. I was reminded of him recently when I came upon a thriving spread of clover in the garden I write about.
I still have the little stem with four leaflets that he gave me. Whenever I see it, I feel
uplifted. And I wonder: What became of that child? Where is the young man he became? I often send him love and best wishes.
Let's be receptive to encounters, conversations, and opportunities to be of service today - and to be served. And let's send love and
good wishes to all who aided us over the years, in ways large and small.
With gratitude, love, and joy,
May it keep your heart open and filled with light.
