Reach Out

I will weep when you are weeping;
when you laugh I'll laugh with you;
I will share your joy and sorrow,
till we've seen this journey through.
These words are from a hymn called 'Brother, Sister, Let Me Serve You'
We sang this at church a few months ago on a Sunday morning; I'd never heard the hymn before. It is song not so much to God, but a hymn to each other. Person to person. This verse, verse four, leaped out at me.
Love, compassion, empathy in practice. This.
This is what grieving, hurting, distressed people need.
Someone.
Someone to join them on the rollercoaster. To hold their hand.
No judgment. Just love. Just acceptance. Just reassurance.
No judgment. Just love. Just acceptance. Just reassurance.
Today the workshop invites us to Reach Out. To act in compassion and kindness.
Someone is on my mind tonight. I cannot and will not say any more about it. But these words are my reaching out.
Day 28. Capture Your Grief. Reach Out.

The verse before this one is my favourite ' I will hold the Christlight for you,
in the night time of your fear'
That's what church family is for - when you are scared and sad and lost I will be a light to you as Christ is a light to me.
