FRIENDS WHO PRAY

Lately, I have been awestruck that anyone would would actually take the time to pray for me. A simple one sentence e-mail from a friend that said "I am praying" has humbled me greatly. In my own personal life as I walk through the day I will see certain people and whisper a little prayer for that person. At night when I pray a list of names come to my mind and i will pray for different people and different situations. But to think that people actually pray for me and my family-- well, that just blows me away. I mean, I know I have a church family that loves me and I guess I always had a "head knowledge" of the fact that people prayed for me because that is what they were "supposed" to do, but to really GET that people care enough to pray for me because they love me, well, that is a different concept altogether. A concept that I really need to grasp. This glimpse of love is just a teeny-tiny fraction of how great our Father's love is for us.

So, friends, during this Thanksgiving Holiday, I am thankful for you!!

And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds.
Hebrews 10:24

The Lord restored the furtunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord increased all that Job had twofold.
Job 42:10
