I have been praying for you. It's been a pretty amazing experience on so many levels. It's been challenging on other levels. But yesterday it was hilarious--well at least God and I thought so. Okay,
I thought so, and I hope I did give God a giggle. Don't you just love thinking you can do things that God laughs at? I do. I'm certain I crack Him up with my foolishness, but I also like to think I make Him guffaw due to my wit too. After all, He gave it to me.
I was thinking about you all and praying yesterday, and I kept telling Him I was lifting you up.
Then I got this picture in my head of all my loved ones, and some I'm hoping to love, melded into a ball, and me lifting all of you up. Like this:
I kept going, I tend to digress while I talk with God but He's used to it, and I pictured a newly born Kunta Kinte in his father's arms being lifted up to Him. Like this:
And since I was thinking of such strength, I pictured myself last like this (come on, I had to throw a woman in there):
Why is this funny? Well because if you know me, you know my arms look like his and I usually can't lift much of anything:
Yet I CAN lift you up to Him, and I do. So while the images make me laugh, the thought that God loves me praying for you does make me feel as strong as those I've pictured. That's a powerful thing, and I am thankful for the chance to use my strength for you.

appreciate your spiritual workout on my behalf. once this is over, you'll have arms like michelle obama.
I wish. Maybe Grover, but not Michelle!
Strange, just the other day I was thinking about how I must make God laugh - He has got to chuckle at my antics - I truly am a mess at times.
I just love the whole idea of "lifting it up" and of "giving it up" to God. How lucky we are to be able to do that - to take the weight off of our shoulders and give it to Him.
Cracked me up - and I'm sure there are times that I make Him crack up too. Had a good laugh while waiting at Vicki's dr. appt. Thanks
Alright, the whole Elmo thing, LOL! That totally made me smile : )
And just know, that you're not the only one doing the lifting! You're up there as well!
