food for thought

Well, their are a few different dirrections I want to go with this post. so we'll see which one I end up going. First of all I've just discovered the bennifits of writing down prayer requests. For some reason I thought it was like some rule that you had to remember everythingthat you were suppose to pray for. In otherwords, no looking at a list, o how wrong i was! and o how cool lists are! So on monday morning, I started a prayer list. Its sitting on my desktop, so its not exactly hard to miss. it will be even less hard to miss when i get rid of some icons on their that i don't need. Second, god has been really talking to me this week. In fact, my mind is full of ideas and things I want to do. I will briefly discuss them, these are just ideas mind you. prayer cloths. The other night I was just sitting here when those 2 words came into my head. I was like prayer cloth? Ok? then as I sat just waiting the idea slowly started to take shape. I feel the need to present every person who comes up for prayer with a cloth annointed with oil. I feel that it will be a link to the holy spirit and whenever they get discouraged or something they can hold on to it and pray and the spirit will lead them. that's as far as I've gotten on that. visiting the sick. that's pretty obvious, or is it? Not only do i want to be their for the sick, but I want to be their for the family. I want the family to feel safe and know that they can go home at night and get some sleep and their loved one will not be alone. Now, I'm not a nurse, so obviously they would have to be in the hospital or something, I would just be a friendly face to offer a kind word when they are afraid or can't sleep or something. In fact a friend of mine had surgery yesterday and I wanted to go to the hospital so bad I could almost taste it. I can't stand sitting here not doing anything. But again that's as far as that idea has progressed. so time will tell what god wants me to do.
