Emergency! Attention all Grandparents

I think we're in need of a few more "manly" toys.

Trials

There was a class I took at Women's Conference entitled, "The Hand of an Old Friend". The point of the class was to offer suggestions of different ways to help your friends through their trials. My favorite part of the class was when the instructor shared the story of the paralytic that was taken by his friends to be healed. They couldn't find a way into the house where Jesus was staying, so they broke a hole through the roof and lowered him down that way and was consequently healed. What has stayed with me was when the instructor said,

"He was healed by the faith of those that loved him."

I have a lot of friends that are going through a really hard time right now, not just the standard trials, but a really really hard time. I wish I had babies to give, or health, or money (lots and lots of money!), but I just don't. So I just thought that I'd let you all know (and you know who you are), that I'm really praying for things to get better for you. As much as I struggle with my faith sometimes, I do have faith that things will work out. And as much as I would love to, but can't take away your pain and your stress, I can pray and I do pray fervently for you.
