Last Thursday I drove to Utah to help my sister pack and move to Oregon. It was fabulously exhausting. She has four kids under seven years of age. Fortunately the neighbors played with or babysat the kids for much of the weekend. When the kids were there our progress on packing and painting the house slowed to a crawl. See, on top of packing we had to get the Victorian home ready to sell. They need to sell the home in order to buy one in Portland.
I loved spending time with my sister, her kids, her husband, and one of my brothers who came Saturday to help with the move. We were able to share without judgment our hopes, disappointments, and service. It was a special crazy time. Fortunately, I was able to do some Reiki sessions with each of the adults to help them relax and get through the stress. We also had a group prayer which brought total peace to our minds and hearts.
I so admire my sister and her husband they are a perfect example of romantic and familial love. They are always there for each other and take life in stride moment by moment. Yet they plan for the future and share hopes and dreams. This move is a real test of their faith as they are moving into a hotel as part of the transition. They are hoping to close on a house very soon, but much is contingent on the sale of their old home. They are literally walking into the dark following their hearts. I trust and pray that divine providence will continue to pave the way for them to meet the needs of their special young family.
As for me, when I arrived home I collapsed in bed for three hours, got up and took a hot bath and then went back to bed until morning. I don't know how they go go go. Of course, I am (t--yrs.) older than my sister, but I thought I had more energy than this weekend proved I do. Being there for each other is love in action. Now to meet my own little families needs as we prepare to go back to school after a wonderful summer.
Love Rules!
