On the week before my sister Ruth died, I raced back from Raleigh to be at Ruth’s bed. It was the last time she talked to the family. (Read about what I wrote about my older sister’s passing on Jan. 23rd here.) She told me two things that I think about to this day. One was about my kids. She urged me to have intention about what I want to teach them with the time I have to do so. Her next words of advice also came deep from her heart.
She said: Magic happens and the Lord steps in when you bring people together and you’re selfless in your own interest in making that happen. Ruth always believed in the importance of bringing people together, and in having the right intentions in doing so. She firmly believed that better things happen when people are together than when they are apart and that if the person bringing people together is selfless about it than the Lord is truly there doing His work.
