Last week Dena and I had the privilege of joining a large organization for their conferences in Winter Park Colorado. We were invited to be "resource" people, available to meet with their staff who may be having issues with their teen or adult children. We aren't counselors, experts, or necessarily wise. Just parents who have walked that hard and painful road. It was exhausting but very meaningful for us to take part in these hurting parents lives. We laughed, wept together and prayed together. At the end of each hour meeting we left as friends.
One thing we heard often was the word "safe." We want to be safe people. Safe compassionate people for those whose pain is too deep to be alone.
Thank you Jesus that you are always safe, full of compassion for the hurts we carry. You will not turn us away in our time of need. Thank you, thank you again!
