The first thing I saw today was Sandy K's,. post about the young lady in Iraq.  As I read her thread, I could feel Sandy's emotion and concern.  I paused and I prayed.  I was reminded of everyone who prayed for me and my son.  I have been able correspond to my son by email and I have heard from him at least every other day.  Though my heart is full I certainly understand the sorrows of war as I never have before, but more-over, I understand the power of prayer and the positive mind set.  It is quite moving to me even unto today that a stranger can care enough to pray. 

Father,

I pray to become more compassionate in my life and to live each passing day with consideration in praying for others as they have prayed for me.  Amen.
