Poem ~ The Wings of Prayer

On the wings of prayer our burdens take flight

And our load of care becomes bearably light,

And our heavy hearts are lifted above

To be healed by the balm of God's wonderful love,

And the tears in our eyes are dried by the hands

Of a loving Father who understands

All of our problems, our fears and despair,

When we take them to Him on the wings of prayer.

Thank you to all who have been praying for Vee (God Will Take Care of You). There are times we want to do more to help a friend in need, and prayer doesn't seem like it's enough. Prayer really is the most beneficial thing we can do to help a friend.

I remember a time in my life, as a young single mother, visiting my next door neighbor with my daughter. My neighbor was an elderly woman with a little dog and a plate of warm cookies always on the table.  She said to me one day, "I pray for you every day". I remember feeling very humbled that she would take her time to pray for me every single day. I've never forgotten that and I'm sure I won't know the total impact of her prayers on my life until we meet again one day in heaven.

Have a blessed day dear ones.
