You know how some people just seem to have more than their fair share of struggles? I have felt this way about a good friend of mine who has chronic health issues, found herself going through a divorce a few years ago, and has terrible problems with her children. The last time I saw her, she was using a walker and not driving. At the same time she has incredible faith. She loves the Lord and hangs on to Him for dear life. She is constantly saying a novena of some kind and always for other people. While she has every right to wallow in pity, she refuses to do so. She is constantly thinking of others and what she can do to help. I talked with her today and was shocked to hear her say that she is now walking with her dog about 3 miles a day. She also has been driving herself around and taking trips. I could not believe my ears – but then again I guess it should not surprise me. She refuses to give in and/or give up. Even though she still will need additional surgery at some point she moves forward each day, talking to God, and following His lead. She is inspirational to say the least.

I Found God today in the incredible improvement of a friend with ongoing struggles.
