A Tale of Two Saints
Snippets of news came through with the message to pray for the family. Eventually, the official word came that a brain aneurysm had claimed the life of a young mother I know quite well. So many people have been devastated by the news.
The prayer chain for another lit up the same week as a friend from college had a setback with his fight against cancer that had been ravaging his otherwise healthy body. The doctors had given him months to live, and he made it two years before he told his wife and son it was time to go home.
Two friends in the same week.
Training Your Replacement
I’ve been a full-time caregiver for my mother-in-law now for the last 4 years. Her most recent hospital stay landed her in rehab again, this time for a more extended period. I stop in or call to check in every day. I want to know the people taking care of her are doing things right – i.e. the way I would do things! I pray every day for the people who take care of her and there is a part of me that wishes I could be involved in their training. After all, I know her well and I want them to know her and love her the way I love her! I want to train my replacement caregiver.

But there it is in scripture – Luke 1:28 “And he (Gabriel) came to her (Mary) and said, Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”
