simple sunday sympathy

I always hesitate about making sympathy cards. Still, it is always in my heart to send a paper hug when the circumstances come my way. One of my sweet friend's Daddy went to be with the Lord recently. Another had surgery that left her waiting for her slow recovery in a difficult and painful position. Another is fighting the battle of her life against cancer. Another, going through such difficulties trying to find a new place to live.

Still, I believe Jesus reigns. I pray His peace that surpasses understanding holds each of them strong and helps them see His mercies in a brand new and comforting way. His love never disappoints. I am praying for His help, healing and open doors for each of them. Pray with me.

"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months"

James 5:16-17
