Thanks Perna
Yup - that list says it all for me too. It's a great list.
It feeds the soul to have a place to go where you know people will understand. If they don't, they will listen with open ears and try to understand. It promotes a sense of renewal and strength to either face the obstacles or truly savor the joy of connecting with others. That is what I call a "Sanctuary." It also brings us together as an internet "family" - an extended family to support us.
As far as I'm concerned, I believe it makes our prayers for each other and those who request prayers that much stronger. Our prayers are stronger because we put more heart into our prayers.
Thank you ((everyone)) for making a concerted effort at creating a true Sanctuary for Spiritual Support.
