My sister who broke her leg continues to recuperate even though she still has some bad days when she is in a lot of pain. Today she told me about a friend of hers who was hurt in a horseback riding accident. The woman suffered a broken leg very similar to my sister’s. They have talked often since the accident. The friend told my sister how helpful it was to be able to talk to someone who had experienced the same thing. I thought about how true that statement is. When we are going through something horrible, we often get angry, depressed, or wonder why we have to endure such a thing. It is rare for a person at that time to think that something good will come from it. But later, when we can journey with another person who is facing a similar situation, we can be a blessing to them. Not only that, it feels good to be able to help someone else in this way – to be the blessing.

I Found God today as my sister is a blessing to her friend.
