When someone we
care about has experienced the pain and anxiety of a broken bone, we want that
person not only to fully heal from the broken bone, but also to experience
support, peace, and hope. For the person who has broken a bone, changes may
take place in their lives and in the lives of those caring for them. This Broken
Bone Milestone Moment provides a time to pause, shift gears, and recognize
God’s presence in this moment. It can be an occasion to remind and reassure the
injured person and their family that God’s healing power is present in their
body, is a gift to be cherished, and is something that can be filled with hope
and the possibility of a brighter tomorrow.
This Milestone
Moment consists of two pages that are reproducible in your local setting. It
can be sent in emails or printed.
· Page 1 describes the significance of the moment
and the importance of observing it.
· Page 2 provides a conversation guide* that
includes talking and listening to one another, reading a verse/s from the
Bible, and a prayer and blessing. It includes a food for thought question on
how one might show love for one’s neighbor through an act of service.
All Milestone
Moment Conversation Guides are designed and based on the *Four Key Faith
Formation Practices of Caring Conversations, Devotions, Rituals and
Traditions, and Service. These practices encourage us to grow in our faith
through personal, trusted relationships.
