Christmas is in just a few days.
I have tried to get all my shopping done but I keep needing to go get last minute things. I was in a really busy grocery store today ~ it was packed full of people pushing carts trying not to hit each other. There were sighs and smiles and patience and frustration. There was this moment that I witnessed that made me tear up. I was waiting at the end of an aisle in a passageway and an elderly couple saw someone they knew, another elderly lady, they both exclaimed her name and then wrapped her in a group hug. It was just the sweetest moment to witness. There was so much joy in their faces and to see her just enveloped in this beautiful embrace made me wish that someone would see me and feel the same. I finished my grocery shop and went to the last store I needed to go to that day. As I was walking the aisles I caught sight of a sweet lady that I have known my whole life. She was talking to someone else and so I didn't interrupt just kept on shopping. She saw me and when she was done talking she came over and hugged me! We ended up having a very kind conversation that felt heart felt and caring for me. I really needed it I guess. When you are looking for the moments of connection and looking for light ~ it does come to you.
It is important to hold that close.
Seeing the couple embrace their friend felt like I got a hug, and made me long for that experience of sorts, and then it happened.
I don't often meet people I know at the grocery store and not people that would hug me. This was a rare occurrence and it happened right after I expressed that longing in my mind and heart.
May you have these experiences when you deeply need them and see them for what they are ~
Love from Jesus
Just for you
