she prays for us.

 

She sought us out Sunday morning before the service started.

Hugged us with genuine affection and greeted each one of my children by name.

She was excited – legitimately excited – to see our faces.

She told us Tuesday.  Tuesday was the day she prayed for us each – by name.

Who knew that would matter so much?

And that it would, of course, remind me of my mother.

My mother, who also had a written down list of people for whom she prayed.  My mother, who drove to her job as a nurse at an assisted living facility and prayed down that list as she drove.  Name by name of real people whom she loved.

That’s a treasure, right?

To be named.  To be prayed for.  To be loved.
