No, that's not me.
My ‘top ten’ prayer list feels unusually intense and crowded these days. By intense, I mean that there are many people I know who are really suffering medically and emotionally-- big time. And of course that brings in their families and friends. As the circle expands, sometimes ten spots just aren’t enough.
I am aware that my situation is not unique, all of which makes me realize how much suffering is going on in every little corner of the world. And yet, in another sense it is unique. I live near some of the best medical facilities in the world, and I don’t live in anything that resembles a war torn neighborhood. I’m trying to balance gratitude and suffering, but isn’t that what we’re all working on?
