The Healing Power of Gratitude and Extending Love



Charlie Brooks spoke on Sunday about his experiences at the time of, and after, his motorcycle accident in June of 2012.
          Clearly Charlie felt blessed by the fact that two registered nurses were present among the people who stopped to help after his crash in the desolate spaces east of Albuquerque, NM.
          There were two things that really stood out to me about Charlie’s comments:
·        When he was speaking about experiencing the Presence of God he said, “Just allow it to be. There is tremendous power in allowing and extending Love.”
·        Charlie was seriously physically damaged from the accident and spent many, many days and nights confined to his bed. Rather than focus on what might be viewed as his unfortunate condition he spent his time in meditation and prayer for others.
Thank you, Charlie for sharing your story with us and demonstrating the healing power of gratitude and extending love to others.  We are blessed because of it.
