I also remember a woman on Twitter named Susie Star who took prayer requests from people, then she'd call the troops to join her. When my cat was hit by a car and ran off somewhere and disappeared, I was beside myself with worry. It happened early afternoon and by nightfall she was still missing. So I took it to Susie and she put out an immediate PRAYER ALERT for my missing fur baby. Next morning she was home with one tooth missing, but other than that she acted fine. One day I couldn't find Susie on Twitter anymore and, believe me, she was missed. She had shine too.

It's what gives us the conviction to keep on believing and sharing the power of Jesus' love in this world.

So cool that our Father arraigned for all of you to meet and draw closer to Him in the process. <br />What a blessing to find a sister with the gift of God in her that she shares by Him.

That's why Barbara's ministry is so unique. I think the acceptance rather than rejection of her overtures of prayer have much to do with living in an area of the U. S. called the "Bible Belt," where churches abound, and so do people of stalwart faith. So thankful to live in this God-fearing area of the country!<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-68766798822851267152018-06-30T04:59:39.730-07:002018-06-30T04:59:39.730-07:00Bold and compassionate . . .

I remember years ago there was a story of a nurse who asked an elderly patient, "May I pray for you?" The patient complained and the hospital fired the nurse.<br /><br />It seems to me there is a definite objection to the Christian faith over here.<br /><br />God bless you and your family.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-91743773664051817802018-06-29T21:23:15.225-07:002018-06-29T21:23:15.225-07:00What a beautiful example of being bold and compass...What a beautiful example of being bold and compassionate!
