MEMORY -
Peter had two stones he had a liking for. Tiger's Eye and Hematite. He wouldn't pass them by without telling me how much he loved them.
APPLICATION -
Today, I received an e-mail from a friend about the origins of first names. Peter's name was listed as "A rock. Peter the biblical fisherman and apostle had impulsive nature and rock like faith" Although Uncle Pete was no where near a fisherman, he definitely had a rock like faith. His show of faith was humble but extremely personal. Being the elder in the family, he seemed to be the rock for us all staying grounded to reality and connected to life.
I took some time this evening and held two of Pete's stones. Yes, Hematite and Tiger's Eye are quite beautiful, I see now why he found them so remarkable.
REFLECTION -
As quoted by Jim Carrey " Nothing on this earth was created without intent".
From the stars up above to the rocks down below they all have a purpose, as do you and I. I may not know the purpose to all things in life, but I do know two things for sure, Pete was my rock and I was his star.
