Missing

John 16:22 - And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

As most of you know, I lived in Nevada for almost 4years. We moved there from Michigan for a work oppurtunity for my husband. While living there, we comitted our lives to Christ...and I met some special ladies who became my wonderful friends. We prayed to move back to our home state and were blessed to have this answered. We have been *home* for 7months now.. and I have to say that sometimes my heart misses those dear friends. How wonderful it was to have friends who I can share my life with, friends for my children and lunch and dinner gatherings...so many wonderful memories. Friends who became my family for a short time.

Do you miss anyone, a friend or family? I know its not easy, I have had my heart ache for wanting to be near family and now my dear friends.

Today I thought of something, truly the Holy Spirit leading me.. when my heart pains to be near a person, pray for them. Pray that they will be blessed, heart filled with joy, for hope with any problem they may be facing, protection and that they would grow close to God.

I have to say that the pain lessened..and it felt good to take a few minutes and pray for the dear ladies I miss.

Praying is such a wonderful thing you can do.. Truly the best.
