Prayer Request

My Mom is going through a rough time right now. Find out more over at her blog.

Below is an excerpt of an email message I sent her:

Mom,

{{ HUGS!! }} from all of us to you. I am so glad to hear from you.

I can only imagine what you're going through. I cannot state enough how grateful to God I am that he chose you to be my Mom. I truly believe that you have had a tremendous impact on my life and who I am as a person.

Thanks so much for the encouragement from the apostle Paul. I remember in 2 Corinthians 12, where he talks about his "thorn". I'm also thinking about 2 Corinthians 4, in which he talks about our "light and momentary troubles". "Light and momentary"? That's some kind of perspective, huh?
