A few years ago, I prayed and prayed for friends. I’d been feeling so lonely. Well, God answered my prayers many times over. I’ve been blessed with many wonderful, sweet, loving friends–ones I know in person and ones I know only via the internet. These wonderful people have given me so much.
Recently, I experienced a rough and very disappointing day and lamented on one of my email groups that I was so desperate for chocolate that I was eating baking chips (and not even a good brand). Oh, the responses!!! My cyber buddies responded with kind words and offered their prayers. As one who has great difficulty asking for anything (help or even just a shoulder to cry on), I was humbled completely by this. People are praying for me. I broke down a bit during mass this morning thinking of it. Then as I was walking out of mass, a sweet friend handed me some chocolate. I was stunned by her thoughtfulness and then by the thought that I didn’t even know she was part of that email group.
I can only thank God for answering my prayers of a few years ago.
