A friend of mine sent me the most moving chain prayer I've ever seen. 

It was an Aunt's commentary, complete with pictures, about a small home town in Texas paying tribute to her nephew who was killed over in Iraq.
His memorial service was impressive, with over 1000 people filling the church, and more spilling into the streets to pay their respects.  
The most touching thing is the chronicle of people, all standing along side the road with their hands over their hearts , for 2 miles no less,
holding American flags --paying their respects. 

There is something to be said for there being strength in numbers...  It's basic human nature to rely on eachother for moral support, especially during the worst of times.  Yet somehow I'm still amazed to see so many people rally for eachother, and so quickly, especially when it really counts..  

I don't always like or understand the rhyme or reason behind life's misgivings, but it's the love in my friendships, and the strength of my family that keep me looking for the beauty at all.  Moments like this picture commentary remind me again, I shouldn't take things for granted. 
 
Praying for your peace and comfort.
