I am thankful for the people around me.
Yesterday I found out that a close family friend's leukemia has relapsed for what seems like the 100th time. He's been fighting for 11 years and this time, like all the other times, it doesn't look good.
After hearing the news I sent out a text message to around 40 people asking them to pray for healing and a miracle...
Within seconds 10 people responded. Within minutes; 30.
I am so incredibly thankful that I have this large group of people surrounding me that I can call on for prayer and know that they will step up to the plate.
One text I sent to a friend that has apparently changed her number; I got a reply saying "Who is this? I'll pray anyway though!"
I know I take this for granted all the time, and it's too bad that we often only notice what we have when we're in need, but I don't think that I realized to what extent I am blessed with strong mature Christian friends.
In this time of disaster when everything that's strong starts to shake I am so thankful for the people around me.
love&prayers
