My friend Jenny (who married one of my good friends) was chatting away with me online.
The conversation wasn't one of those 'hello, how are you?...and then *conversation left hanging*
It was a meaningful conversation about our plans for our careers, her plans to relocated to KL (currently she's in Ipoh) and about what we really want to do *eventually*. That if we died tomorrow, what would our contribution have been.
She wanted to do missionary work. Currently a nurse. She's in the profession of giving and assisting. From what I hear, she's a great nurse. But her gut tells her her calling is mission work. It makes her feel good *alive*.
She had to log off and catch some Z's...and she ended the conversation in a way I've almost never heard someone say to me.
'Lets keep each other in our prayers'.
This statement 'woke my soul up' this morning.
Usually its
Gtg or
talk to you later.....n
*Thinking* No one has said that to me at the end of a conversation. And i think of the people in my age group and how we end our conversation.....and i look at our lifestyle.
Where did the faith and spirituality go? Where did the concept of prayer go? Where for a few minutes we center and ground ourselves and believe and trust. And why did we stop sharing this positive energy with each other (sharing in a respectful non overly preachy way).
Its not only about praying 5 times a day, or going to temple, or sunday church, its also about reiki, meditation, C&E or whatever your choice is. A state of mind that creates positivity and clarity and you share that with others - wishing on others peace harmony or a state of being that gives clarity.
Jenny and I from different faiths, but I get the intent. So i replied
"I will have you and your husband in my prayers as well." Another way of me saying "Wa alaikum assalaam" And upon you be peace.
