I just got a phone call from my friend Sheri. It was so good to hear her voice. We have been e-mailing back and forth. Sheri is my friend who is wrestling with cancer, though you wouldn’t know it to talk to her. She really is so positive. Are people born that way? I wasn’t.
I am one of those people who has always wanted to see the glass full but inevitably it appears half empty to me. I mean,I do a great deal of faking it, putting a smile on my face etc., It’s not that I’m not happy. I am. I just worry about the small things in life.(and big things too) I’m sure I get this trait from my grandpa. He has always said, jokingly,"Why pray when you can worry!"
One thing I’m not worried about: Sheri. I have such peace about her and her health. I can’t explain it. In Christian circles we would say,"thats God" and the thing is : I know it is. There is a difference between confessing faith and KNOWING it in your heart.
I feel so fortunate any time I get to Know it in my heart. Especially when it comes to one of my dearest friends.
Thank you to each of you who have told me you are praying for Sheri. I honestly feel those prayers and so does she. She told me so.
Why pray when you can worry?

We know not what we do when for our absent ones we pray.
We know not how the magic works – but somewhere far away
Someone receives a blessing, and is comforted
Silently around their path the angel wings are spread.
Though from them we are divided. Love will bridge the gap.
We know not what strange powers we touch, what secret springs we tap
When we kneel and earnestly commit them to God’s care.
Great things are accomplished through the mystery of prayer.

I continually believe that God works through the prayers of His people. Thank you for continuing to pray. It is making a difference. One big blessing through this journey is seeing the hands and feet of God in motion. It’s truely amazing.
