I went to visit Don in the hospital. He’s been coming to our church for most of the time I’ve been here. When he comes to the altar on Thursday evening … to receive “the body and blood of Christ” … you can feel the depth of his faith in the quiet power of simple gifts like bread and wine. Just before leaving his hospital room … we prayed. I don’t even remember the words … all I could feel was the depth of his faith and the nourishment that prayer brings to his soul. In many ways … Don is “one of God’s angels.” Without even without having to say a word … he reminds me: prayer isn’t about the outcome. It’s about sharing this journey together … and facing whatever comes our way with Jesus walking with us. I believe in angels and prayer more than ever … and sometimes that “angel” looks like you. May your day be blessed with hope and grace. Don
