letter from a friend...

I meant to share this earlier, but better late than never! Please read the following letter from a friend (identity protected). It illustrates the simple yet profound working of Jesus in our lives and families.

(from my friend)
Prayer works! I know we've heard this a million times but hear it again PRAYER WORKS!!!!!!!!! It really works when we cry out to our mighty God THEN let Him do the work in His time, in His way, to His will.

For the past several months I've been going through a season of refining (still going) but this week end Jesus gave me tangible evidence, a gift of showing me how He is trust worthy and faithful to do what needs to be done without my figuring it out and manipulation in the circumstances. For once I was able through prayer, praise, and thanksgiving to say from my heart, sincerely my heart, "change me Lord, guide me in my responses, my reactions. What would You have me do, not do, say, or not say?"

My husband who has a habit of saying "I don't hear God," heard God this week. He was shown areas that need to be worked on in his life. He was listening and he heard! PTL! He called me on his way home Friday and my husband who is a bonified stuffer said we were not through talking yet and we were going to pray this week end. Music to my ears :-)

Our whole week end was great especially at ******* Saturday night. But the best part was yet to come. I was given my heart's desire, what I've been missing for so many months - at bed time my husband knelt by the bed, put his hand on my head, leaned over by body and prayed for me. How sweet the sound!

It was really God leaning over and kissing me on the cheek.

Thank you for allowing me to ramble but my thankfulness to Jesus is so overwhelming and over flowing I can't contain it, it must be shared - so tag you're it.
