True Friends and Great Fellowship

There is something different about Christians. When Christians meet for the first time and start talking, it's like we've known each other forever and we just got reunited. We have a prayer support group on our facebook account and there are many people on there that we have never met or have met just a few times, but they are committed to pray for us and the needs and challenges that face us on a daily basis. Early this morning, we got the dreaded phone call. Leigh's father had a heart attack. He is still alive and is in ICU in The Memorial Herman Woodlands Hospital. We got the phone call about 4:00 this morning and by 5:00 this morning I put the prayer request up on our facebook group. By 8:30 this morning we have received email, after email, after email telling us that these great Christian people have been praying for my father-in-law. There are people in Canada from BC to PEI praying for him, people in the States from Texas to Georgia praying for him and also people in Chile praying for him.

Never underestimate the power of prayer, nor the bonding power of the fellowship of believers. Thank you all for your prayers and reminding us just how much you love us.
