I called Chip this morning.
I offered my services if needed at his house today after the funeral and all. He said there were plenty of people going to be around but He has my number and will call if he finds he needs some help. I feel I did what I was supposed to do. I called him. I am thankful that I didn't just think about calling him. It occurred to me on the walk this morning with the dog over in the park, that the fact that we are here and are now able to pray for Chip and his family, is something that would not be happening if we were not in MD. What does that mean? Well, I don't feel that MY prayers are anything special, but I do believe that my God is the only one true God out there who loves his children with an everlasting love. We are all created in HIS image and He loves each of us as His own. Therefore, one of the reasons for us being in MD is to pray for Chip and his family that they could rely on our Creator for strength during this difficult time in their lives. It's not the strength of MY prayers that will help him, it's the ONE I am praying to that will carry him through.
