Well this post officially gets me caught up. Still It won't have been 21 days straight so I will have to keep posting every day until the end of the month at least. I will probably need to go into January if I want to make this a habit. The goal is to get in the habit of writing everyday.
Tonight I am thinking about a friend who is struggling. She is an amazing strong woman who has been through a lot. How do you help someone who is struggling in every way possible. I am not in a position to help financially, I can only pray and counsel to help spiritually. I can listen to help emotionally. I can suggest she seek medical help. But none of that seems to be enough.
I spent a little time with her this afternoon. We mostly held onto each other. I listened to her. She listened to me. We talked about the issues. We talked about other things. We were just there for each other. When she sent me on my way, she did say she felt better. I hope I can find more ways to serve her that will lift her spirits.
It is sad to me that she is so down when Christmas is her favorite time of year. I need to find a way to help her enjoy it. Despite all that is going wrong. On a bright note. she received an unexpected but needed blessing while I was there. I told her that it was an affirmation that the Lord is hearing her and he is there for her.
I hope she sees it that way. I hope this helps her to feel Heavenly Father's love for her. My prayers tonight will be for her and for guidance in how to help her. I know I will find some answers.
