Teresa frazzled, annoyed with herself. She forgot her mask and now she must return home to fetch it. ‘Don’t worry about it’, I say. ‘When you get to our time of life, forgetting will be no big deal’. We laughed and as she walked away hurriedly, I heard her say aloud, gently to herself: ‘We never forget Jesus though’.
That was yesterday, and still, this morning that beautiful tender moment shines in my deepest heart like a glistening diamond engagement ring. Hugs from Heaven stay the longest, in fact they go nowhere, they stay put, waiting in the wings to warm our spirits when the cold wind blows. Cornucopia of Blessings.
‘We never forget Jesus though’, and He most certainly never forgets us. Jesus carries his stumbling sheep to safe pastures, putting our scattered lives back on track, leading us Home.
‘You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in You’. (St. Augustine)
