― Chinese proverb
There is a kindness about remembering things that are
important to the important people in your life.
Some people are very good at this, my mother, among them. They remember birthdays, anniversaries, significant
doctors' appointments, children's performances, things you said you needed or
wanted ... It is a special kind of
thoughtfulness.
I was reminded of it this morning because I have a
very sweet friend who remembers people I have asked her to pray for. What a gift!
And this morning we needed to pray for a friend, and, of course, she
did. My prayerful friend has kept track
of my other friend's needs -- even though she doesn't know who my friend is. And in so doing, she has been incredibly kind
to me.
