Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted. ~ Matthew 5:4
If you have been following my blog, you know that I have had a couple of deaths this week. Tonight I am supposed to be at my interfaith group but the celebration of my sister-in-law’s sister went until 7:00 and I decided to just come home. The Facebook RIP page has a slew of messages coming in, with people praising both Lynn and the good send off.
If I had gone to my interfaith group, the topic was going to be something I had proposed: faith heroes. I wanted to learn from my Christian, Muslim, and Jewish friends who spoke to them about their spiritual journey. Instead, tonight, I listened to people talk about a woman who was their hero. Lynn inspired people to choose life instead of death. Several of the kids from the streets attributed Lynn’s non-judgmental support to saving their lives. This Winnipeg Street Angel was honoured well. May those who loved her find comfort in the memories that they have.
peace,
Suzanne
