I had a friend recently who was headed to do hard things. And as I gave her a hug I whispered in her ear
“The angels are already waiting for you there. You are not alone.”
It wasn’t me whispering, rather, it was me being willing to be a vessel.
When I make space for silence in my life so I can hear those little whispers, when I make space to be a vessel I am given opportunity after opportunity to show up, to share the ministry of presence, to be who and what that person needs in the moment.
Perhaps our only work is to be willing to be silent long enough to be given our instructions on how in that moment to be a vessel for love.

That’s why I like being one on one, to listen and being there. Those opportunities are rare in a group. You’re a gracious listener Erica. Beautiful post.
I learned from the best 🙂 Thank you for all of the kindness you have bestowed upon myself and so many here in the community.
You are amazing Erica and a wonderful friend! I agree, I believe that it is those one on one moments where God gives us the blessing to truly listen and hear another person, to care, and for the Spirit to guide us with the words that are needed in that moment to help the other person. If words are even needed. Those are the moments that truly matter. Not all of us were called to do the big things but we were all given gifts from God and even the smallest gifts can make the biggest difference in someone’s life.
So true! It is so often the smallest things that have the most meaning.
