How many times have you had a thought of someone for no apparent reason, only to see them the very next day, have them call you, or get some news of them. Sometimes we pro-actively act on these seemingly random thoughts of others, and sometimes we don’t.
The reasons we don’t reach out seem valid … "It’s probably nothing", "I don’t want to intrude". And yet often the times I have not reached out, taking the clue offered me, I have regretted it. And I sure have never minded when others have checked in with me.
I’ve decided on a new practice for 2012. It’s called my "I Just Thought of You – Call to Action" It’s simple. When I spontaneously think of someone, or when I realize I have not seen someone at church for a bit, I’m going to take an action. Perhaps it will be a hand written note, a text, a call, or an email …but in some way I’m going to take an action and reach out.
Join me? Together we can reach out a huge web of love and support. Who knows the difference we might make. Perhaps you’ll reach out just when someone needs your love.
You are Precious. You are Awesome.

<div>…..Did just this with a card that I was 'just going to drop off' and the person came around the corner and responded, "Good Timing, eh?!" </div> <div>Thanks for being part of that particular tapestry calling forward a web of love and support. I experienced it going both ways and for the rest of my day! 🙂 ….of course, right?! </div> <div>Julie<br><br></div>
