I think one of the best things ever is prayer. There are times when it appears that there is nothing one can do to ease pain or discomfort and then I think of prayer. It is a comfort and blessing. I really believe that a loving Father listens to each and every heartfelt prayer. Today my prayers are for Ken whose dad died yesterday far away in Canada. He loved having long deep talks with his dad. My heart also prays for Candice's family as her mom is having brain operation all day long. Her mom is amazing. It is hard to feel helpless but with prayer I can express my feelings and desires and I feel loved and understood. It is amazing to me how at any one time so many can be suffering with totally different things yet we are all in this together. We really are connected and what happens to one happens to all. I was talking with my brother last night and realized we won't be seeing him often if ever. Each only has so much vacation time and when you are married your spouse has friends, family and they often come first. But instead of being sad I thought about all the great times I did have with him. Now he is living a different life far away. I'm glad I have good photos and memories. It is just like he is just another person, where he used to be our best friend. Scott says it is good for us to just be on our own and do what is best for us. We use to base every decision on being close to family but now we will be deciding what is best for our little family. Aunt Sue has a hard time with the stairs and Scott has been dreaming about a dog for years so it may be a rambler is in our future. In the future when we make a move I pray that we end up right where we are supposed to be- even if it wasn't what I thought I wanted. God knows what is better for me than I do, believe me I have found out the hard way on that one. I guess that is what I am struggling to learn- to trust his will when it seems like a different way is best for me. But prayer can even help me with that. The best example I have of prayer is Aunt Sue. She really believe is prayer- always has. She is also praying with me today for Candice and Ken.
