His sermon spoke to me, made me cry a bit actually. Alan has such passion, such faith. Living our life of Parkinson's, I can falter and give in. Though I know we have so much to be thankful for, many times my head does not feel thanks. Alan reminded us it is all about OPPORTUNITY. I have been trying to live this journey with that in mind. I do know that friends, acquaintances, and the random person all say "I am here for you; call if you need anything", but that is hard one. They truly mean it and expect me/us to call. Sometimes low points are not the time to call for help, unless of course it is an emergency and they are close by.
So, how does one feel grateful and find opportunity during these tough times?
Alan reminded me today to stand strong, to be proactive and leave for others the breadcrumbs of hope and faith as they witness our journey.
