Reaching Out to Others

A program friend called me the other night. He caught me off guard with the call, and I didn’t ask “Are you okay? Do you need to talk?” I realized this late that night so I called him back in the morning. It turns out he did need to talk.

His need to talk, and the things I said in response, WERE EXACTLY THE THINGS I NEEDED TO HEAR MYSELF. I am still amazed at the power of this program and the ways in which it works. Picking up that phone can be so hard, so scary, so intimidating. And yet, it seems every time I have reach out via phone or had someone reach out to me, it has done us both good. So the next time you are scared to call or think “oh I’ll be a bother,” pick up the phone and make the call. The person receiving the call may need it just as much as you do.

This got me to thinking about my Higher Power. Could my HP really be acting through the person who called me? Then is he really my HP, their HP, or what? Maybe we really do all have one HP, I don’t know. Maybe we each have our own and they talk to each other to get us to do things that turn out to help each other. The point doesn’t have to be for me to understand this or even to think about it too much. This program has taught me to believe, and trust, that I have an HP who is with me always and that sometimes my HP speaks to me through other people. And that sometimes the action does both of us good.

I haven’t blogged in awhile and for that I’m sorry. I guess I overcommitted myself every which way this spring. I have literally had one free Saturday since January 1. The up side is that I’m busy (can’t think too much), that I am doing things I enjoy and with people I enjoy being with.

Hugs everyone!
