Messages, We Live Them

Sometimes a wake, through the man being waked, awakens something inside us.

Sometimes our words and actions carry more than just words and actions, they carry a compassion that can change a course in life.

I went to a wake yesterday. I’ve gone to many as did many of you, I’m sure. But as I spoke with family and friends about Harry, the deceased, it awakened something inside me. I realized, once again how important, how very important are our words and actions.

I worked with Harry as a cop, he became a captain, I a detective. But we both liked to write and we both believed in messages. Personal messages from human to human.

Harry was proficient in his messaging. He was a man of deep faith, a faith that moved him to bring the Divine message to others. He did that well.

Whether you are a person of faith or not, you have to admit that your words to others, your actions toward others, do count...much more than most of us realize:https://leebythesea.me/2018/06/16/messages-we-live-them/
