In our everyday activities and with other people, sometimes we are called to do great acts of kindness or make great sacrifices for the ones we love.
But, this is seldom normal. Usually, we are given chances and opportunities which we miss out and these are the small acts of love and service which have been underestimated.
Some of these acts end up to produce unexpected results , others more predictable and herein lies the mystery weaving out a pattern and becomes an expression of our true self.
As counsellors, it does not mean barging in with easy answers and quick solutions to our counselees.
It means learning to listen even for that which initially can not be expressed.
It means journeying with them in their attempts to finding resolution and lead to self healing.
It means being there with them, but not controlling, reaching out but not taking over.
It means entering into a partnership with them in an environment of care and service with love so they can begin again to hope, pursue their dreams and aspirations, overcome their fears and live again.
I end up with these lines...
“We give a listening ear,
And lend a helping hand,
But most of all we offer
Love so that we will understand.”
