― Khalil Gibran
Last week, I
was rushing to pick up one of my children, and both realizing that I would not
make it on time and wondering what my options were. At that moment, my dear mom friend texted me
to say that she was at that daughter's school.
"Do you need me?" she asked via text. Oh my goodness! I immediately called her: "You answered my prayers before I could
even say them!"
I have a another
good friend who is always there for me.
On one occasion as he once again appeared when he was most needed, I
exclaimed, "You are the answer to
my prayers!" We still joke about my
characterization. He says he has been
called many things in his life, but never that.
We pray for
what we think we most need. Sometimes, our prayers are pleas for help;
sometimes, they are yearnings of the heart.
There is true kindness -- and friendship -- in being the answer to
someone's prayers.
