NBC Today Show on The Myths About Millennials
July 3, 2013Being “Present” With Someone Who is Ill
October 20, 2014A dear friend has been sick for many, many years. She recently went through a serious surgery. I mentioned to someone that I was planning a visit. Although I don’t know the person well, he paused and said, “my family and I will lift her up in prayer.” Having never heard that phrase before, I was moved beyond words. The thought of lifting her up in prayer felt so right.
I now visualize her literally “lifted” and “held” by everyone she has ever known, including her ancestors. As I do this, I imagine the loving restoration of calm and her improved health.
