Wherever we are...

Today's thought from Hazelden is:

It has been said -- and proven time and again -- that wherever we are is where we can make a difference in the life of someone else. I have come to believe that our real purpose here is to make that difference. It doesn't have to be a big difference. Even a smile can change the outlook for someone we see on the street, or offering a comforting touch of the hand or arm to a friend who seems troubled.

Carl Jung used the term synchronicity to describe the "meaningful coincidences" that bring people together who are meant to share a moment in space and time. We need not worry about the orchestration – that part has already been planned. And the outcome of the meeting is left in the hands of the Greater Power who saw reason for the meeting.

Our part is to be grateful for the "invitation" and then the willingness to do as bidden.
