24 Awakened by Love
===
[00:00:00] Have you ever thought about love like a puzzle? I love a good puzzle. One of my favorite parts is sorting the pieces into piles of colors and textures of the image. It's so satisfying to explore similarities and differences, and determine what pieces are likely to fit together. I have a puzzle spread out in my family room right now of the beautiful painting by Sabrina Squires called The Love of God.
Over the course of a few weeks, we've been piecing together this brightly rainbow-colored tree with white balls of fruit. As the image is coming together, it invites me to think about the roots and the fruits of love in our lives. As we focus this year on the different aspects of the soul and how God asks us to love Him, ourselves, and our neighbors with all these aspects, body, spirit, heart, and mind, I can't help but think of love like a puzzle.
I want to explore it more, and that curiosity makes me want to talk to some amazing mentors about their unique experiences with love. Let's see what pieces of this love puzzle we can gather from this conversation with Whitney Archibald as she tells us about how she was awakened to a new kind of love through her very unusual experience Welcome back to Growing the Light.
We have a second episode today with Whitney Archbald. How are you doing today, Whitney? I'm great. Excited to be here. And we are delighted for this month of February, this Valentine kind of special- ... to talk about this experience of being awakened by love, and the experience that you had, the transformation in, in what you learned about love because of your accident.
Now, listeners have already heard in the last episode about your accident, but one of the things when I first heard your story was how you shared so beautifully about this experience you had even as you laid there on the ground with such a broken body, the experience you had and how you saw people differently.
And let's just jump in there. What can you tell us about that one? Yeah. There were a lot of things that I had to deal with right at first, but especially once the paramedics got there. They got there really fast. It was, like, within 15 minutes. Um, they came up on an ATV, and they had parked the ambulance partway up the trail.
Luckily, I wasn't very far up. But they came, and they were just so concerned, first of all, and then... and just so gentle and caring and, like, talking me through everything and like, "Okay, we're gonna cut your harness." And they're just carefully getting me onto this backboard to safely transport me. And they were just saying comforting things and just trying to make me as comfortable as possible.
And I just remember thinking, like- These people don't know me at all, and I am top priority for them. Like, everything, they were, they were working so hard to just keep me as, like, keep me together as much as possible . I feel like I'm Humpty Dumpty and they're the king's horses, I guess. Um, but they're- I love that.
And I wanna, I wanna slow it down just a second because one of the things we talk about, about low brain and high brain, right? When we go into survival mode and when we stay balanced. Mm. How important it is to stay in this place of safety, and safety being defined by Dr. Daniel Siegel as being seen and soothed and secure.
And I- Oh, I, yes, for sure ... yeah, as I heard you say that, I'm like, I hear you saying all of those elements were there. So even in this exceptionally traumatic moment and in excruciating pain, [00:04:00] that they were able to, to see you and to soothe you and help you feel secure and safe. And I should say- Mm-hmm ... b- even before they arrived, like, my brother and sister are there, like, taking care of things, calling, calling 911, and just, like, keeping me talking and, and, um, my brother's just, like, down there on the ground right next to me and, and my sister's...
My, my son is taking care of the kids, and my, you know, my, my sister is, you know, talking to me, asking questions, trying to help me. I mean, so the... I was, I was already feeling that, but that's kind of an a- you know, like you- They're just loving people in general, so that, that was not- It was expected of them.
It was expected, but also- Mm ... I still appreciated it. You know, like, they were taking great care of me. Um, and then, yeah, then these strangers show up, and they're showing me the same great care and just, just like... Then, you know, they load me up onto the ATV. And as I remember it, um, it... Well, my family was walking along.
They were just going, driving very slowly. They had me just on the backboard balanced on the back of this ATV, and they were, they were holding me, and everybody was just kind of walking along slowly. So I re- remember that part. And then, and they're just like, "Okay, there's a bump up here." They were just being so caring, like this whole time.
Yeah, very attentive. Attentive, yeah. They were worried about how I was, uh, at all, all times. And so then they loaded me onto the ambulance, and that's when I could actually kind of see them. They let me know that they couldn't give me any drugs because my heart rate was too low, and they didn't wanna destabilize me.
So they're just like, "Well, we'll try to make you as comfortable as possible," and giving me updates. Like I'm a person, I'm not just a patient, you know? Yeah. And- You were seen. You were there. Yeah. Mm. And I could just feel, and I really felt like I could see the love just, just streaming off them. It was like, yeah, maybe like an energy that I could sense or something.
It was just pouring into me. They were not thinking of themselves at all. It was just all- focused on saving me, and I knew that that was their only objective is they obviously didn't know me, but they cared so much, and it was amazing. I love that description so much. Uh, the, the power of words to capture things.
Sometimes we really just don't have words to describe it. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. But when I first heard you say that, that you saw the love pouring off of them, I thought, that's such a unique description. Usually we describe feeling love, but not the visual of that love pouring off. And so I just loved how you expressed that, and it, um, it engaged my soul a little bit differently to, to see it with my soul and not just with the heart or with the words.
It just engaged it for me. Well it, yeah, it just felt so tangible. Like, like- Yeah ... like a true power rather than a feeling. Yeah. Yeah. And as we are emphasizing this year the different aspects of our soul, body, spirit, heart, and mind, we usually think about love as a heart-based experience. But this way of looking at it reframes that as a whole-souled experience, as something you see, as an energy that you sense into, as an awareness of their concern for you.
I just think that's a beautiful perspective. Well, and it was a very physical manifestation of love. They were, like, literally- Yeah ... transporting my body and, and taking care of my body. And then once we got to the hospital, the nurses were, like, doing every [00:08:00] physical thing for me. I guess that contributed to the tan- the tangibility of it too.
Like- Yeah ... because- Very body based Yes. Physically based as well. Yes. Yeah. Yes. And you could tell, like, the, you know, just the way they touched and, you know, like the way they moved my hair out of my face and ... I just- felt so, yeah, loved, loved and cared for. I love that. I, and it's tender how you're describing those very simple physical things, right?
Moving that hair out of your face. It makes me- Yeah, I could not do that. Other, Mother Teresa that talks about doing small things with great love, that it's not always the big things. It was 100 small things they were doing to see you and to soothe you and to help comfort you in that experience. Yeah.
Yeah. So I attached very quickly to all of the... You know, the nurses switch out every day, but, like, you're with these people late into the night, and we're telling each other our life stories. And everybody came in, I, I wanted to show them my picture of like, "Look where I fell. Like I, I fell in a place where the only place I could have fallen and been saved.
Isn't this a miracle?" And they're like, "You don't look like a miracle." But I like wanted to share these people who were taking care of me. I wanted them to understand the miracle, too. It was part of that whole love fest I was having. Yeah. And I love that. I'm just gonna point out, that's the spiritual component of our souls, wanting to tie that element into the interaction you were having with them.
So how did this experience of how you saw others loving you also influence how you, in return, loved them and interacted with them, even in this weakened, wounded, broken state of your body? Well, I, I left out a huge detail, I just realized, 'cause, like, while I was in there in the ambulance, that is when I really had this spiritual communication with the Lord saying very distinctly, "This is the pure love of Christ.
I know you're feeling this and experiencing this. I'm gonna give it a name for you. This is the love that they're showing you and the love that you're feeling for them. That is as pure as you can get, as close as you can get for that very divine power of love." Like, that was the pure love of Christ, and it was- Wow
the purest form. I've loved lots of people in my life, and I've been loved by lots of people in my life. I've had a very loving history. But it did feel like its purest form right at that, at that moment. And that's so interesting to me that that gift was given- Mm-hmm ... when you were in such a weakened physical state.
Like, that almost in that weakness you were able to feel the strength and power of that- Yeah ... in a different way. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe it was partly because of the intensity of everything that was going on. I bring that up at this point because I think that is what allowed me to then carry that experience with me and that feeling with me, because I had a name for it and I recognized it, and I wanted to preserve that and own that and have that become part of who I was as I'm recovering.
Like, part of the new me- Yeah ... I guess, you know? Yeah. Like, I've tasted this. I need to harness this and make this part of who I am now. I can love at this level. It, it did increase my capacity. It really did. Mm-hmm. Like, it was like this stretching that was intense, but it overall increased my capacity. And I love that because I'm gonna go back to the aspects of the soul.
Our brains are so focused on the linguistic capacity. So having a label and being able to understand and frame that with the language of this right here that you're feeling [00:12:00] with your heart and your body and your soul is the pure love of Christ. Yeah. And to give that that demarcation in the brain helps that growth to happen.
It just gives it a different place in our brain to, to colonize, if you will, and, and give it life in that way. Well, and I love it in, like, the Pearl of Great Price as we've been reading how it, it talks about the Lord talking to these prophets as one man talks to another, and that's exactly how I felt. I wasn't, like, transfigured and I wasn't seeing him, but that is a level of spiritual experience that I hadn't before experienced, and it really was- Yeah
like one man talks to another. Like, we were having a conversation. I often say it was like there was just this direct conduit between me and heaven. Yeah. Like, we were, we were talking, and it was a- A thin veil moment I love that. So now tell us a little bit about how, like having this place in your mind, having it labeled, having your heart so attuned to this awareness that you're seeing from these people, and how delicate and tender they are being in caring for your physical needs.
How did that change how you then responded to them in these weeks? 'Cause you were in the, the hospital for weeks. Yeah, yeah, about a month. Um, and yeah, I kept moving up floors, so I'd meet a new contingent of people and I just wanted to know everything about them. I was just like asking them questions and, and learning about them, and I was just like, "You're amazing."
They were just so amazing to me. I was like grateful to be alive and just amazed by all these beau- ... Like, I wanted, like, "Why did you feel called to go into nursing? What made you wanna just help people?" I think what it was is that I ha- again, with the c- increased capacity, I, I was really seeing s- them through the Savior's eyes, and that was the switch for me.
Like, I've always loved people and loved making friends and, you know, I love my people. But I did have this increased ability to see them through the Savior's eyes. Not all my nurses were great. Like, one in particular, one made an error that caused me a lot of discomfort and stuff. But even her, I was able to see her through the Savior's eyes, like she's trying her best.
She's overextended. She... You know? Like, it was easy to- forget. I mean, not that I needed to make room- To give grace ... to give. To give that love. To give grace. That's a better, yeah- Yeah ... that's a better term. I just felt like I could t- I knew how much... I knew at a different level how much the Savior loved me because of this experience, and then I could understand how to love more like him, if that's- Yeah
the way to say it. Okay, can I slow it down? Just 'cause I love- Sure ... to like slow it down and to dial in on this so that we understand it better. It sounds like what you're saying is that you felt the Savior's deep personal love for you- Mm-hmm ... in this experience, and you were also able to see how people were seeing you and caring for you in that very pure love of Christ kind of way.
Yeah. It was like it was through him, with him- Right ... and also from others to you, fueled by him. And it's all the same force- Then that- ... which is cool ... and that reciprocates or t- turns in how you are then able to see and love others. Yeah. Is that, does that come through? And then what are the... like, what an amazing thing, because then all the people I loved and all the [00:16:00] people that I, that love me just started pouring in.
So I'm already having this, like, incredibly loving experience, and then people are just coming out of the woodwork. I'm having visitors from every stage of my life, like from elementary school, from high school, like a bunch of college roommates and next-door neighbors came and at once. Um, people I've met, people from my ward back home, when they were taking kids to college, they were coming to visit me.
A- and of course all my relatives that were around, and my, my family, and if they couldn't come physically, they were sending me things and flowers and cards and, and my sister was running point on all the texts that I was receiving and updating me. So I was feeling... I was very surrounded by love by all these people that I had already learned to lo- you know, like I already loved them, but I loved- Yeah, you already had connections of love.
Yeah, but so much more even. Like, I can't believe how blessed I am to be with you all still, and it would just felt amazing. And did that experience with being buoyed up by love influence how you were able to face the physical, tangible realities of your- 100%. Yeah. It is so- Just merciful to me. I, I feel not that it was a traumatic experience, but that it was a holy experience- Mm
for me overall. And, and I think that is just one of the gifts of that, like, overpowering love that... D- I just think that was my insulation. I mean, the pain was hard. Don't get me wrong, the pain was hard. But overall, I just kept being able to focus on, like, "Can you believe I'm here?" Like, "Can you believe I'm here?"
Yeah. So the traumatic- "I'm the luckiest woman alive." The traumatic experience didn't necessarily have a traumatic impact on you- Yeah, yeah ... because you were insulated by that. Yeah. So it's not like I was always like, "I'm gonna bounce right back," and you know. Like, I knew- Mm-hmm ... there was a long road ahead, and I, and I didn't know what that was gonna look like, but I was happy to be on a road, you know?
That's beautiful. So how did your perception of love, this experience, perpetuate after your initial recovery? When you're back at home and kind of trying to figure out your new normal groove, how did this increased capacity for love influence those new interactions, new patterns? I think it mostly affected the traditionally more negative interactions.
There's just difficult things that happen at, when you're going about normal life and stuff. I was still in the mindset, and m- still am at, when I can step back from a situation, to feel like, "I'm so glad it's me that's dealing with this." I'm speaking specifically with my children. When they go through hard things that sometimes aren't fun to navigate, like, "I'm so glad that I get to be here and guide you through this.
And yeah, we're gonna learn this the hard way, but we're gonna learn it together." I just think it... I just- Maybe see the value of those hard things more, and they're easier to tolerate. I was called f- to be the Young Women president, uh, a year after my accident. And even before that, I was the camp director when this accident happened.
And I had already been to camp that year, and I was... They kept me in. And, and I went to girls camp in June, and I slept in a tent. That was probably not the wisest, um, 'cause then at Trek I got a hotel room. But I loved being there at camp so much, and I just loved those girls so much, and I, um, and then I got to be their Young Women president.
And I just adored them. I want to slow that down a little bit. [00:20:00] Yeah. Was it an act of love to you that they kept you in that calling? Yes. Yes. I did love that they gave me the opportunity, because I was like, "My brain is great." Like, it... I mean, as great as it ever was, you know? Like- Yeah ... I can, I can do things with my brain, and I want to serve with my brain.
'Cause I'd been served for so long, it felt so good to be able to give something. Able to give back. Yeah. It, it's kind of a reciprocal dance, isn't it? Yeah. That we give in our lives of loving and being loved. Yeah. Of giving love and receiving love. And, and sometimes that d- dance gets cl- clunky, right? Right.
Or sometimes our ego kind of says, "Oh, I, I don't need to receive love. I want to give love." But you were in a spot where you had to receive it for a long time, where you needed- Yeah ... a lot of help doing things. Yeah, for sure. I'm such a Zionist, right, in, in understanding how important Zion is and becoming of one heart and one mind.
And sometimes the biggest challenge in Zion is us admitting that we need other people, and letting other people into our lives sometime. Maybe the dance part is gone. Maybe that's what it is. Oh, yeah. Maybe it's just the, like... I don't have to think about it anymore. If somebody does something for me, I'm just, like, grateful with no thought of, "Oh, I should've been able to do that myself."
Like, there's none of that left. Like- Oh. It's just like- That's beautiful, yeah ... whether I need it at the moment or not, I'm just like, "Great. Thank you. I would love that." Like, somebody'll be like, "Hey, I'm at the grocery store. Do you want me to grab that?" And I would've usually been like, "Oh, I'm fine." Like, "Actually, yeah, an, a, a gallon of milk would be great."
And I, I really... I just have such a testimony that it is a blessing to both sides, that I don't think of it as an imposition on people anymore. Mm-hmm. And I don't know, maybe that's naive, but I just... I look like I'm giving them a- Like, it gets mutually beneficial. And I- Yeah ... I don't see it as like- Why not?
a give and take a- anymore. A- and then I just like, because of that increased capacity, I see opportunities. There's the empathy aspect, where I've felt more hard things, so I know how to help more hard situations. Um, which is very interesting in terms of the Savior, because that's so- He descended below all things- Yeah, that's why
to succor us. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. That's, that's a true eternal principle, is that the more thing, the more hard things you feel, the more you're able to succor the people who are are going through hard things. Um, so there's that. Also, I just feel like it's just increased my vision of like, or my perception of, of where I can help people.
I was just like walking into Walmart, and as I'm walking, I see this, this woman who's older, and she has oxygen You know, she's has the, in the cart, and she's about to empty her groceries into her trunk. Now, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that you should offer help, but I just like wanted to run there and just help her.
Like, "Don't lift a thing." Like, "Can I please help you?" And we just had this great conversation, and we had this connection, and I just love making those connections and just being able to spot people who need a conversation or a, or... It, plus it feels good. And like I hand out compliments like they're candy.
I just notice people, and I see these amazing things about them, and I just wanna tell them. It's not like I'm like, "I'm gonna give five compliments today," or... It's just that like- Yeah. Just flows more naturally ... I see amazing people, and I wanna tell them that they're amazing, you know? Yeah. So, I don't know.
And it sounds like, Whitney, that you're seeing them with more than just physical eyes. Yeah, in fact, that's- You're not [00:24:00] just seeing their presence. You're seeing deeper into the soul. Yeah. I'm seeing them through the Savior's eyes, and that's one of the b- best gifts that I was given. There's so many people that we interact with every day, and they're all a whole complete interesting package.
Like, I don't know. Unique different souls. Yeah. Mm. Yeah. Anyway. So Whitney, this is the, the way I'm pondering it is that sounds so delightful, and there are definitely times where it's like, "Oh, I want to feel that," and I don't. I'm really stuck- Oh, yeah, yeah ... in my inner world, right? Yeah. How can, can we as people who haven't been necessarily gifted that way of seeing others, how can we work to develop or create that more within ourselves so that we feel that way and respond that way, and are blessed by that same Christ-like ability to see people that way?
I think that's like the easiest spiritual gift to gain, because we all have the capacity for that. Like, we all have the potential for that, I should say. Mm-hmm. Um, because we're created in God's image, and so much of his power is just that pure love. Like, we all have pure love within us, and it is a skill that can be practiced, for sure, and, and just developed.
And even just- using it as a mantra. Like, I'm gonna see people the way the Lord sees them today. I talk to my kids about this a lot. I'm like, if they're complaining about somebody or like, "They're the worst," I'm like, "That is a whole person that the Lord made, and think of what He thinks about them, and think of what He sees when He sees them."
And just, like, articulating that to your kids, for one, and to yourself also, you know? Mm-hmm. 'Cause we're gonna all feel frustration. It's not like I've nev- I haven't had a single negative interaction since my accident. You know? Like- Yeah ... you know, there's been, like... I'm like, come on. It's still a choice.
Yeah. If you're trying, you're getting better. You know? And I love the scripture that encourages us that we can pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart that we may be filled with this love, this charity, this pure love of Christ. That seeking it, actively asking for that divine gift, is something that we can intentionally exert our agency to ask for.
To admit, "I don't have this. I'm not being patient and Christ-like and giving grace. Help me to do that." Well, and I think we can work up to it. Like, we don't have to start with the person that's driving us nuts the most. We can practice it with the ones that are easy to love, and just figure out how to serve them and love them better, and, and then expand and expand your circle, and, and, uh, till you're walking around Walmart and you're like, "I love you guys."
Okay, Whitney, so if you were to tell us one or two or a few of the things that were most loving when you were at such a difficult time in your life, what were some of the small and simple things that showed great love to you? Um, so my ... First of all, the first act of love was my, my sister and my mom came in and washed my hair.
Oh, it was so gross. My hair was feeling super gross, and yeah, they were finding, um- Leftover treasures. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. From lying on the ground. So that was, that was beautiful act of service. So that was one. And then it was, like, two weeks later when I had my first shower. Oh, the nurse that, that helped me was so careful, 'cause it was so painful to sit.
But she was, she was so sweet, and we had the most, like, spiritual conversation. [00:28:00] I- I mean, it maybe it sounds super weird, but she's, like, helping me in the shower, and, like, I'm learning about her and some of her, like- faith and, you know, we're just having this It's that beautiful connection of body and spirit.
Yeah, it was. Like, talking about the soul. It really was. Like- That connection really exists ... the anointing of the Savior's feet, like, it's real. That physical connection is very real, and she was ... Yeah, she was washing my body, and we were just connecting on this, like, really faith-filled level, faithful level, and just bearing testimony and talking about miracles, and miracles that she'd experienced and miracles that I was experiencing.
And I was getting clean. And anyway, there's so much probably symbolism. And so I will always remember Della. She was amazing and, um- Beautiful ... just a beautiful person. And then to add to it, I get all, like, back in bed and I'm in, like, lots of pain, 'cause all that is a lot of exertion for me. And then, um, this woman that I've just interviewed once for my podcast, I've met her a couple times in person, um- She came to visit, and she brought this beautiful basket of s- the most thoughtful things.
Just really thoughtful, like, snacks and, um, self-care type things, lotion and stuff like that. Then she just offered to give me a pedicure, and just she- Aw ... massaged my feet, which were not in pain. My feet were fine and so it was great. And she painted my toenails. But her timing was amazing. Like, she was sent by the Spirit at the right time.
Like, if she'd come earlier, that ... She would've just had to drop the basket and go. Um, but to be on that day when I was already like, "Oh, I'm feeling s- like- Fresh and clean ... feeling..." Yeah. And then to just add that little cherry on top. And, and she ... Like, she traveled, like, I think an hour and a half or something to the hospital, and just wanted to do this for me.
And I don't ... It was just- Sounds like she was- Yeah ... on the Lord's errand- She was ... definitely. She was so- In what she did and the timing of doing it. Yeah. It was amazing, so. And I think that that's an overlay here to all of this, is that when we are loving people in this way, and seeing them and extending Christ-like love, we literally are His hand to other people.
Like, it is a different kind of love because it is His love through our hands, through our bodies, through our eyes. Yeah. And I feel bad even picking, because there were so many moments like that, you know? Yeah. Just so many friends who just came with books and love and packages. But not ... It wasn't about the stuff.
It was just about, like, they knew me and they knew- The thoughtfulness. You were seen and known and loved. Yeah. Yeah. By them and by the Lord. Like, it was just, it was just really cool. Yeah. I think that there's a beautiful lesson in here that it is both the giving of that and being such an open, loving receiver of the love that is being poured out by others, that that's what perpetuates it and that's what grows it, is that you were such a loving recipient of their love that it just let it grow.
And it was beautiful. Well, and it was like the ultimate humility, right? Like I- Yeah ... I couldn't do a thing. Like I, I needed lots of help. And so yeah. And humility comes on both sides of that, both the being humble to give people grace and space and, and love and extending yourself in that, and being humble and receiving it.
The- It's a beautiful dynamic of humility that [00:32:00] makes it possible. The other huge thing is then, then my parents took care of me for a month and a half in their house. And my dad built this gigantic ramp and, and, and, like, at great expense. And then he's, like, so awesome that he then, like, divided it into two and gave it to people in the community who needed ramps to g- I could go on for days about all the things.
But, you know, my mom was then the one who had to shower me for a while, and, and do all those things. And so... What a gift. Yeah. So Whitney, what do you most desire listeners to take away from this discussion about love? I think, um, the biggest thing is that we all have this capacity. Like, don't underestimate, like, well, maybe because she had this great experience she has a bigger capacity.
I don't. We all have the capacity to love as perfectly as Christ. Like, that is in all of our future if we desire it, as we become more like him. And, um, so wherever we are on that road, we can just practice and get better and increase that ca- Like, just think of it as an opening up. Almost a, like, that tangibility that I was talking about, about the love.
Like, it's just a physical breadth, like, that we can just have this greater capacity inside ourselves to, to love, and that's just stretching. We're just stretching that, growing it, making it bigger and bigger, and then it... Yeah. It, it can just keep going. I love the growth metaphors, and it's, it's like that little flower bud that's so tight and closed, but then how it gradually just blooms and it opens up and becomes that beautiful blossom.
Kind of that opening up when you say that, that's what I imagine. Yeah. Like, it's, it's, it's not only within our capacity, but it's like the Lord's right here with us working on us. He's helping us expand, and, and, um, we really just have to let him, and then he'll do a lot of the work for us, w- with us. Yeah.
Yeah. That's beautiful. Well, Whitney, thank you so much for sharing your example of this experience that you had with love and learning to love in this way, and how encouraging that is for us as we go throughout this year trying to become more like our Savior in our souls, to open up to this kind of giving and receiving love in this Christ-like way.
Well, it was fun to explore at a deeper level, so I appreciate it. That's wonderful. Okay, and you told us that you had a Beatles song to go along with this. Uh, All You Need Is Love. Do, do, do, do, do. I love that. It's true. They had something figured out. Well, thank you for being with us, Whitney. You're welcome.
I can see many valuable pieces for our love puzzle in what Whitney shared about receiving this new kind of love in her healing journey. One thing I saw was being able to see with new eyes with this pure love of Christ, and the importance of love infusing how we see ourselves and each other. Having eyes to see the good helps our hearts to extend more grace for the humanness that we all show.
I also saw how the pieces of both generously giving and humbly receiving acts of service fit our lives together like pieces of the puzzle in a vital way in building love in Zion. I hope this conversation gave you some pieces of your own ideas, and maybe some questions to explore about how we can grow love as we all work together to make this world brighter, one ray of light at a time.
