My buddy and I were on a monster drinking spree when I pointed to two
old drunks who were sitting across the bar from us.

a true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart

Health. Without it I cannot earn an income or take care of my loved ones. So I no longer feel guilty on taking the time and money I need to keep myself healthy. Or as healthy as I can be.

Gentle Father,
We raise our hands and heart to you to lift up our Dear Mingle Brother and his Dear Ones. Help sooth his pains, calm his fears, as he heals and lives the life you have a purpose for him to live.

Give us wisdom to not always understand but accept that it is merciful as only you understand. That we can be brave and true friends with kind and supportive efforts to comfort. Remind us how we can be your hands and feet in this world with out excuses.

Guide his medical ministers to ease his pains and nourish his needs for restoreing rest. Giving him the control to live as the man we respect.

In your name we accept your comfort as you teach us through shareing what seems so much to understand. Let us share our smiles and tears as that wonderful gift to feel as only we can when someone precious to us lets us see the value of your gift of life. Amen
