My Wish

I would never wish this on anyone. What my wife and I are going though is awful. Each day can be a struggle, the the uncertainty of the future makes it worse. That was all put on hold today.

Today after our regular church service, out pastor and the elders of the church held a healing service for me. We had invited quite a few people, and even had 4 friends from out of town in attendance. When the church service was over, my wife and I took a seat in the front row. My wife sat to my right and her mom on my left. Every one else filled in the rows behind us. Our Pastor explained the service first and then began the prayer. He, along with the elders of the church and several friends and family who were sitting close placed their hands on me. Our pastor said an amazing prayer. When he was done my wife and I stood and turned around. What we saw that that point, I will never forget.

There were over 50 of our friends and family filling the rows behind us. We knew there were people coming, but to actually see 50 plus people there, giving their full support, their prayers and their love was beyond words.

To feel that amount of love and support from that many people at one time was completely overwhelming.

I wish that everyone could feel what we were feeling at that moment.
