Hi Jan :)
I was thinking of you just this morning whe I was looking at tornado damage on TV. There was a destroyed barn, either in North Texas or Arkansas.
The barn was totally flat, but it was surrounded by a hers of saane does with kids. All the does were facing the barn looking on with obvious curiosity. And yes I prayed for you, your family and your herd.
I really appreciate this piece. People so often forget to pray and when they do they may be at a loss for word.
Thank you for the words. God loves you.

Comment from Miriam Kingfisher
I'm not trying to be mean, but too many platitudes turn me off. Where is the humbleness of a Christian heart? Is this work not preaching to the converted to make them feel good or do better??????????
I am a Christian, and I've see more help coming from and older person who just comes up to you and says, God Loves you and I'm praying for you, and then moves on.
I hope you take my comments as support and not a condemnation of another's viewpoint.
Take Care.

I have spent quite a while trying to figure out how to answer your review. I am sorry you felt I was not being humble or writing in a true Christian spirit. I do believe the believers need to be lifted up and encouraged often. When I list something as being "spiritual" by nature, I assume that the majority of my reading audience will be Christians.
I do appreciate your comments.
Hugs,
Jan

Thank you so much for this review. I have fallen way behind on answering reviews, having hundreds I haven't had the chance to respond to. Please forgive me for this cookie-cutter reply. If I don't do this now, before I post more work in the coming weeks, I fear I will never catch up! Please know I have read your comments, and noted suggestions and corrections. In most cases I have made the corrections you suggested! I deeply appreciate my FanStory friends.
Hugs,
Jan
Comment from nitad
What a beautiful, spirit lead prayer! I only wish I had six stars to give you.
There is nothing more powerful than prayer, it can "lift us up on eagle's wings" and see us through absolutely everything. And you are right. The person who is praying for others is equaly blessed because they carried God's love in their heart.
Thank you so much for the wonderful prayers. Here's one for you.
Dear Heavenly Father,
You have blessed this child of yours with a kind heart and a gift of words. Continue to bless them so that through the stories they write and share with others, they may also share the story of your goodness and grace. In Jesus' Name. Amen
