One of my dear friends was explaining how she has an interview for a new job this week. She then went on to say that if she gets this job, she will be able to go home for Christmas. I then heard a girl (who did not know my friend, or that I was listening to her talk) tell her friend that she would pray that my friend would get the new job so she would be able to go home for Christmas. This girl that I was now listening to went on to say that she knew how horrible it was to spend the holidays away from your family and so she was going to make sure to keep my friend in her prayers. The love that this stranger was willing to show for my friend warmed my heart. It is so easy to pray for the ones you know, but to pray for the ones you don't know is something else. The love that this wonderful sister showed my friend today is something I will never forget. It inspires me to do a little better--to offer a few more prayers for those whom I don't know. I'm so grateful for the wonderful sister who was willing to make my friends concerns hers, and for the wonderful example she gave to me.
