Today I learned that an
online friend and inspiration suffering excruciating pain is near the end of
his rope. Despite my usual attempt at sharing only upbeat or funny messages here, I wanted to blog about him but debated how to approach the situation.
While I contemplated the
words my computer crashed – hard – giving me the feeling a higher power sent me
a little message to hold off and think more about the matter. So I rebooted
this laptop, went to lift weights and, upon returning, found an email from a wise
friend (Annie I love you!). I put forth my concerns and received prompt
reply.
Thus, at her gentle
suggestion, I am requesting prayer and warm thoughts without naming this kind soul. If you
feel inclined to join in, I appreciate it and believe God will have no doubt who they’re
for. I feel more at peace just for sharing.
How are you feeling today? I hope
the answer is wonderful!
Prayers in progress for your friend.
ReplyDeleteI'm wonderful and am grateful for that.
Have a fabulous day. ♥
Thank you! I'm thankful for my health, as well, and the joy I find each day in writing.
DeleteYou are such a sweet person to be putting out a prayer request to help your friend. :-)
ReplyDeleteI thank my parents for my empathetic nature. Be well, my friend!
DeleteDarla, I love you. You are so genuine, caring, and so much more.
ReplyDeleteYes, God will know who the prayers are meant for, and He will lift that person up accordingly. And, He will bless you for caring.
I am blessed to know you, call you friend, and have you on my journey. Thank you.
I fear that my nature can be debased and evil, and I doubt my deserving of any such caring, so thank you for the positive input. Be well and blessed, my friend.
DeleteI will dd your friend to my prayer list.
ReplyDeleteThank you!

DeleteSo sorry to hear the news of your friend facing the end. Sad at any point in someones life to know that they are close to that last good bye. I am sorry that you as a friend have to see this. You are in my thoughts. How am I today does not matter when your friend faces what he is facing. But thanks for asking.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words. You always matter! And my friend has retreated from the brink of despair, I am happy to report.
