Each wanted her own 'big adventure' before settling down. <br />There are different ways that I keep them present in addition to the daily emails and phone conversations.<br />Thinking about 'touch' led me to the room that both have occupied at various times. The daughter in Oregon has several items of clothing hanging in her closet. I needed to 'feel' her with me so I <br />took all of the clothes off the hanger, and folded each one. I 'touched' Anna as I felt the various textures of fabric. I could smell her perfume on the dresses and skirts. She was with me and I was comforted.<br />I was reminded of the woman who pushed through the crowd, determined to touch Jesus' garment. She had faith to know that the healing power present in Jesus was available to her if she could reach him. She was successful. Her touch brought healing and new life.<br /><br />I too sense God's presence as I work with fabric making flowers and small quilts. <br /><br />I can 'touch' Anna while I fold her clothes. The woman experienced healing by 'touching' Jesus cloak. I can enter God's presence by 'touching'<br />with fabric.<br /><br />Thank you God for the diversity of experiences provided by touch.Jacquie Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474030196985172714noreply@blogger.com
