Tina ThrussellAppreciation, love, joy, happiness, gratitude….
These are the feelings we can experience when we witness a moment that touches our hearts. Moments that are unexpected. Moments that we become so grateful for.
I experienced one such moment this past Sunday. Neil, my mom, and I were attending Unity of Calgary’s Sunday Experience, which features a live band. One of our band members is a singer/songwriter. He was very proud to be singing one of his newly written songs with his daughter, Abby. They performed the song beautifully, and it was touching in and of itself.
But that very special moment came close to the end of the song, when they both looked up from the music stand and made eye contact. The love that was in their smiles and eyes was palpable. The deep love of a father and daughter who adore each other was so sweet to witness. That look – that special moment – touched our hearts and brought huge smiles to our faces.
I wish I had captured that moment as a photo! I did take a few pictures of them singing, but I missed that special moment. Oh well, it will be forever in my heart!
Oh! Wait a minute! The moment I just described above (along with a number of other special moments) was captured in the livestream of the Sunday experience. The livestream video also includes a powerful message from the guest speaker, a wonderful meditation, and lots of great music. You can watch the video on the Unity of Calgary youtube channel, if you feel called to.
(Scroll ahead to 1:05:00 if you simply want to watch coverage of Doug and Abby singing together. There is a special moment at the introduction of the song worth seeing, too!)
I share this story in the hopes that it will bring up warm, fuzzy memories of special, heart-touching moments for you, too. If you’d like to share one or two with me, I’m all ears!
