Can you feel it?
Can you feel our light that we send your way when you need to make a decision, find your way or begin something new?
Can you feel the arms of compassion we wrap around you as you face difficult days?
As Paul says in Romans 12:15 [We] "rejoice with those that rejoice, weep with those that weep."
Can you feel our sympathy when you cry or feel pain on days heavy with sorrow?
We feel you; can you feel us too?
Can you feel the love when you need the strength to do what love calls of you to do?
Yes, it's us... standing right here. Silently, prayerfully, caringly, lovingly.
Can you feel our company when you feel lonely or needing a friend?
We extend our presence to you, our gifts, tokens of our love, grace, gratitude and ongoing support.
You know us by our cards, and flowers and gifts. But there's a bond higher than a name and where we're from that joins us all together. We're with you spiritually. And we have found the power that comes from uniting in love. You don't know us by name. You don't have to. Just think of us as your visible and invisible support. We will not leave you when others hurt you. We stand by you with a strong, resilient love, defending you, aiding you, and reinforcing your position. Now, more than ever, we swell as a tide engulfs a boat to buoy you up with our combined strength.
We pray for you when there are decisions to be made for the Estate, for your lives, for your future. We defend you in all arenas where others want to tear you down or treat you unkindly. We're your warriors protecting your reputation and privacy.
We look for ways to promote the legacy of love that began with Michael and continues with you.
We're an army of love.
We are your voice, amplified. We are your fan-mily. A web of support that wraps worldwide. United to help, love, encourage, and promote the best for you. You are the root and fruit of the one we love.
"The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." (Deuteronomy 33:27) Well you might think that refers to a more eternal, distant, cosmic being. But I know this much -- God works through people. And there are so many people on your side showing the love that upholds against pressures and worries and shoulders the burden with you, and bands around you like a hedge of protection, and daily lifts you up in prayer. We celebrate your happy times, and good events; we feel your pain when situations are painful and unbearable.
We love you as special people in our hearts. We hold you up so that you'll be able to walk your journey in peace and strength everyday.
Remember the beautiful song "Always" and you can rest assured that...
"Days may not be fair always.
That's when I'll be there always.
Not for just an hour, not for just a day, not for just a year....
but always."
