Le Blog du Curé de Fontenay-le-Comte n° 1.054 : "Qu'est-ce que j'ai planté ?"
Going to see this old lady and little ability to move, I made an important discovery! "Do you know how old I am? I have far exceeded the 80 spring", as she confessed to me in a big smile. Despite his disability and the multiple difficulties that could make it sour and surly, I felt someone good about yourself, balanced, full of kindness and hope. I allowed myself to ask her her secret, and here's what she said: "There are two things that support me. First, I have faith, and with God, I feel never alone, I am very religious, and the Mass on TV makes me much good, although I regret not being able to withstand the movement that would allow me to go to church. The second thing, what are friends! "
I would then call the" Friends? "" Yes, she answers! Where I worked for over thirty years, among my many colleagues, I have made many friends. And even if I am already retired a long time, it does not go a day without that I have a connection with either of them: phone calls, visits ... It makes me feel good: they did not let me down! "
" How do you explain that? " "Oh, she answers, when we worked together already, we lived good things between us, we helped each other very much, it is argued, can not forget it!"
Here it is, the important thing I discovered during this pleasant visit: when, in his life, we loved the other one is never alone! In return, I think all these people who say they suffer from a great loneliness, sometimes due to their difficult nature, which makes you hesitate to go see them, for fear of recrimination and mourning.
It reminded me of thinking common sense of British poet Lord Byron, I recently noted: "The thorns which I have collected come from the tree I planted." Yes, often it is we who make our own misfortune, and then produce the thorns that will poison our lives! By cons, if we care for our way of being, if we're wired on the tree of life, our lives will can blossom flowers without thorns, whose luminous beauty, sweetness and aroma will brighten up our lives' to our last breath!
