Meditations in Mark Chapter 6

Years ago, a woman who worked at the church experienced an emotional or psychological breakdown– her therapist recommended a clinic for in-patient care• when she was allowed visitors, her family asked me to go see her• right away I noticed she looked different – lighter, like a weight had been lifted◦ she was definitely in a better frame of mind◦ brighter, positive and hopeful– she explained that to get well, she had to detach from her family• she could no longer be around them◦ hearing that shocked me–in fact, it upset me• I knew her family – they missed her and wanted her back◦ but I didn’t know them the way she did – so I just listened◦ my responsibility was to support her progress, not question her therapy
