Dear friend and congregant Laura had to go to the emergency room the other day. She was having some pretty scary and painful symptoms, so her husband Les (also a pastor) had called the rescue squad to come.
Almost as soon as Les hung up the phone, there was Craig at their door.
Craig isn’t with the rescue squad – he’s a volunteer fireman. But when he heard the call, he went, just to see if he could help. While they waited, Craig moved some furniture out of the way to make it easier for the squad to get in and out once they arrived.
And then he sat beside Laura and asked her if she minded if he prayed for her.
She didn’t.
And he did.
Simple as that.
Where I live, when the call goes out, friends and neighbors come just to see if they can help.
And they stay to pray. Sometimes they even do it out loud.
And it is good.

DeleteCraig is one of the most thoughtful men around in McDowell!!!! <3 Such a great man!
ReplyDeleteIt's a privilege to be his neighbor.
DeleteWe all need someone who will pray for/with us at some time or other. We would be blessed to know someone like Craig.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that, Marilyn!
