Day 271 - Thursday

Yesterday I prayed with a friend of mine via text message for her mom who had fallen at home and injured herself very badly and had to be taken to the Emergency Room.  As my friend and I prayed I knew God was working on her body as fast as I could type the words on my phone.  (Which is not all that fast as Swype and I do not always agree on which word to use!) :O)

I got the good report today that they were able to send her home and that she is doing fine other than a nasty bruise.  No broken bones and no concussion!  YAY GOD!

Another friend sent me a text today asking for 40 year old Sandy who had a stroke and is in the hospital.  We prayed via phone but I would love it if you all would agree with me in prayer for complete restoration in Sandy - in every part of her brain and her body!

This afternoon I had to run to St Louis to make sure that I knew where to go on Saturday when I take my LSAT exam.  Since I was over there I thought I should make a little run over to the Italian section of town, simply known as The Hill.  There are all of these FABULOUS Italian restaurants and bakeries and delis and all sorts of other things.  Just walking up and down the sidewalks the smells are intoxicating! :O)

I was in search of one of my all time favorite things: cannoli.  They are fabulous, delicious, amazing... I could go on!  Anyway, I finally found the bakery that I was looking for.  I waited my turn, mouth watering, wishing I had brought more cash.  When it was my turn, I placed my order.  After I had paid for the delicious treats, I turned to leave.  This little voice interrupted my thoughts and said, "Ask her (the woman behind the counter) if she needs prayer." 

Yeah, you guessed it... I totally dismissed the voice and turned and walked out of there without another word besides "Have a good day!"  I walked back to my car and thought about it for a few minutes.  Maybe I should have gone back.  What am I afraid of, I will never see that woman again.  Well, maybe I will on Saturday because I think I am going to back and pick up some more cannoli. MMMMMMMMMMMM :O)
