A Vital Thread in the Tapestry

Green Bay Packers’ running back Aaron Jones lost a necklace containing a portion of his father’s ashes in the grass at Lambeau Field during a game against the Lions. His dad, who was always in the stands when his son played, had died earlier this year. The Packers had a big night, winning the game, but it was a team trainer, Bryan Engel, who scored big when he found the pendant at 2 am after searching the field for hours.
“Each of us is a vital thread in another person's tapestry; our lives are woven together for a reason.” – Bo Sanchez
Affirmative prayer: I cherish the touch of others on my life. Their good work, how they show up in the world, our friendship, our shared passion for what matters. Letting it all wash over me, I feel how they shaped me, and I give thanks. And, now, mindful of how I touch others, I go about the business of life with compassion, generosity, humor, and integrity. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
