Today is the National Day of Prayer. I'm ashamed to say that in years past I've forgotten all about it and let it pass. This year I longed for and prepared for today. Don't get me wrong...I fully understand that everyday is a day of prayer. But if you think of other holidays (Christmas/giving, Thanksgiving/being thankful, Valentine's Day/love, Easter/celebrating the Resurrection) all those things should be done everyday, too. There's this vibe I get when I wake up on a holiday...that special day set aside for a little extra of something we do everyday.
I have some big ones today. Heather is having brain surgery today and is being covered in prayer by numerous bloggers. We even put her on the list at the church today. We have some family stuff going on that involves numerous people and LOTS of prayer. And as I was reading through my morning blog selection I came across another prayer request here. Please pray for Ben and his family today. Also, please remember to pray for our country and its leaders. And pray for your church, its leaders, and your pastor.
I'll be taking "prayer breaks" all day. If you leave a request in the comment section I'll pray for you, too! **
It's the National Day of Prayer...let's celebrate and pray!
**even if you comment a few days from now I'll still pray for you!

I like that: prayer breaks.
I can't wait to see what God will do for Heather.
And I'm praying for Ben also.
My grandmother is recovering from surgery she had on Monday. She had to have a pacemaker put in, and she is very sore today.
It's so awesome to think about how many people are praying together today!!
