On the Net

Last week was such an "eye and heart-opener" for me.

It reminded me once again, how my feelings have drastically shifted on how I see the power of the Internet.

Earlier in the week, my buddy Grace, had written a beautiful post about a request from Bill Howdle, who had received a comment from a young girl, telling him about her father, who was dying of a brain tumor. Bill kindly requested that Grace ask her readers to come to his blog and offer their supportive prayers and well-wishes for this wonderful little lady and her dad.

You see, Bill himself is dying - and speaks out honestly about this journey through his blog.

Within minutes after Grace published this request, her readers responded joyfully; telling her that they would be more than happy to lend their support.

I had the day off, so I was able to periodically return to Bill's blog and watch what was happening.

Every time I returned, the comment list kept getting longer and longer; as each reader shared in their own special way...the LOVE in their heart.

As I sat and read each and every comment...I could literally FEEL the tremendous power of LOVE expanding from the words in which everyone was expressing.

It hit my heart with such force...that it brough tears to my eyes.

Like a large "Net of Love" I felt it surround this little girl and her father - supporting and supplying them with everything they needed...so they would not feel alone.

Later that week, I left Bill a comment on his blog, telling him that because of this experience...I felt that I had been spiritually altered.

You see...I often forget about the POWER of LOVE.

Especially...when it's shared in union.

So, thank you.
