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.
