Prayed Over!

I called my cousin the other day to see how things were.  He answered in his normal voice.

"How are things"... I asked?

"Really good! The doctors can't believe how well Johnny is doing.  He may get to go home tomorrow!" he told me, happiness oozing thorough the phone.

I told him how happy I was... etc.  He told me how he couldn't believe it.

I told him that it must have been all those prays being sent his way!

He laughed.

Just shortly after Johnny was in the hospital and I had talked to him, I told him about all the people that posted that they would send prayers for them.

I could hear him getting flustered.  

"I don't really like talk of prayer etc." he said... I could hear his pain.

"Ujjal, people pray to do something they believe in and makes them feel like they are doing something.  It isn't really about you... it is just a gesture.  And hey, what if God is there and listening?"  

I just let it go with there are people that are thinking of you.  Just pass that on to Johnny.

How much  he must have been hurt to get so agitated.

I am so thankful to all of you that prayed.  

I am so thankful for the extra time they have been given.

I am so thankful that God is a God of mercy and love.

Thank you!
