My dad passed away last night, and I think of how everyone has pulled together during the time of need, and so far- we have gone on Grace and all been capable of doing whatever needs to be done & for each other.
I cannot help but think of the people in Japan and with family and friends there...and people all across the world who are still dealing with the devestation of these recent quakes...Iceland, New Zealand...and my prayers will continue to be with them.
On a prayer thread here, there were actually people questioning and questioning me on HOW praying could help! That really srirs emotion in me...sadness, too, because there is peace even in the worst times sometimes because of inner peace. I cannot help but recall when my dad was in the hospital last time for a surgery. He did not know if he would make it. I prayed and prayed for him. Later, when I visited and told him, he said he FELT it and sooooo appreciated it, telling me that he knew it made ALL the difference. Normally my dad does not even talk about these things muchless say all that, but he believed it and knew, just as I believe and know that prayer is not the last resort or all a person can do~ it can be the BEST thing, and is better if it IS the FIRST thing. We are just human, but I know I will keep praying for these people right now and I appreciate the prayers for my family.
He is at peace and right now, so are we.
Thank you.
