"When we honestly ask ourselves which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand."
Henri Nouwen
Out Of Solitude p.38
Ave Maria Press 2004
As For Me
I think there was a time that I wanted solutions and cures. What I wanted was a quick fix.
I'm so grateful for the people who endured and forgave my self-pity and trusted that one day their gentle words and hugs would reach the pains of my heart.
Thank You,
Lonnie
