Life is challenging and so are other people sometimes.
Here is a practice I find helpful.
For just one day — this day only — make your mantra and your practice and your focus, "I am here for love; only that."
Leave for another day the struggle for truth and justice, for setting people right and facing up to conflict, for cleaning house and dealing with the to-do list.
Just for this day — "I am here for love".
Let it be the prayer your life offers for just one day.
❤️

Hi Ms. Wilcock, I just want to tell you that I first read the Hawk & the Dove Trilogy almost 30 years ago. Since then, I have read it over and over again and I've given it as a gift to so many people. The love of Jesus I encountered in those pages helped change my life. When I was younger I even considered becoming a screenplay writer so I could do a screenplay for the books at one point. Ha! Instead I was a missionary with a nightclub chaplain in England for several years and now I have a family, work part-time as a legal assistant and have recently started a podcast where we discuss questions we have about the things we were taught about God as we remind everyone how loved and included they are in his heart. But I have to tell you that those stories you wrote have had an impact on all that I've done. I love and appreciate the way you look at God and at people. Thank you very much. (I am so happy I've found your blog site!) Sincerely, Shannon Ruddy xx
Waving to you, Shannon — it is so kind of you to drop by and let me know these stories made a difference. That makes me happy. Did you know there were nine books in that series?
I din't know there was such a thing as a nightclub chaplain — though one of our most famous nightclubs in London is called Heaven, and I danced the night away there once.
Lovely to meet you; may your varied work as a legal assistant, a podcaster and a mother be blessed. x
