At first I wasn’t going to write anything either. No words are adequate but this prayer just bubbled out.

Thanks Barbie. Sometimes no words are the best and just praying for others are only recourse. Hope will come again. Have a blessed week!

What a beautiful prayer. I am asking the Father to wrap these families up in blankets of love, peace and grace, and especially HOPE, that only Jesus can give.

Chris you leave such thoughtful comments. I do appreciate your words and your photos! God does provide doesn’t He? I know I tend to be a loner, “I can do it myself” type but time after time things are so much better when a companion and a friend is present. Blessings on your Christmas season, Chris

Thank you Mia. I certainly agree too often we stumble trying to find words when just holding a hand and listening will do. Have a blessed week.

Hi Jean:
The Prayer at the start said:

He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us.

Growing up I relied on my friends, because I was faced w/many challenges. God placed people in my life who were always there for me, friends I could count on, friends who listened, friends who were my rock.

Several years ago, someone came into my life who needed support, who needed a friend who could lift them up, who could cheer for them. I sincerely believe that God put this person in my life to balance out the scales.

Hi Jean
Yes, I agree with your words that we should walk alongside them withour quiet presence. People can often say to many words in situations like this. Let us be there with our quiet presence.
Bless you
Mia
