I know there's the popular game, Words with Friends, which sounds like fun as long as you don't play with Alec Baldwin, but yesterday I experienced something much better.
Yesterday a sailor had a really rough day. One that most of us cannot even begin to imagine. Of course, I can't give the details of the situation, but I can definitively say that he was and will continue to be in desperate need of prayer.
The amazing thing was, I logged into facebook and said that prayers were needed. No more details, just to pray. And I got over a dozen responses of dear friends and family all over the world who stopped what they were doing to pray. They prayed without knowing what they were praying for, but they prayed nonetheless.
I'm often amazed at how loving people can be when you give them a chance. This situation is just another example of that. And I know more people prayed than commented. I can't stress to you enough how much those prayers meant to us, how they were felt, and how they will continue to help.
I love my friends and family so much. They are amazing. And our God is even more amazing. Hallelujah.
