I pray she is safe. Thank you for including us in this prayer, with communal prayer the load is lighter and the hope greater!

I have been focused on the heart this Lent...a heavy heart when my daughter-in-law lost her pregnancy last weekend , a sad heart this first Lent/Easter since my mom passed away, the task of keeping an open heart when tempted to harden it's protective walls but you have reminded me that we Christians are Resurrection people, we believe in happy endings!
