a steadfast affirmation of wholeness

“When, as counselors and friends, we observe depression in others and are challenged to find a way to deal with it, we could abandon the notion that life always has to be cheerful. We recognize that melancholy can instruct us and be a place of acceptance and containment.” – Thomas Moore, Care of the Soul
Affirmative Prayer:  "Infinite Presence. Today, I offer companionship to others, being with them in the tremors and the care of their soul. I recognize their challenges, and offer my love, acceptance, and reassurance. My mere presence is an unspoken and steadfast affirmation of their wholeness. They are and I am blessed. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.” – Rev. Scott
