Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
Long after the chocolate candy was depleted, I kept the
heart-shaped container, a delightful box in a vintage pattern topped with a red
lid and satin bow. I placed it in the center of the table and soon found myself
jotting down prayer requests on slips of paper and dropping them inside. My
daughters added their own matters of the heart. My friends also contributed to
the collection.
Most of those requests were written in 2011. I still have
the box and the tiny slips of paper remain inside. I kept them so I could check
later to see if and how God responded.
My daughter Emma, a new high school graduate at the time,
wrote: “Kimmie getting better from her surgery.”
