Wings for Prayers

Last week a friend, a former parishoner and just a neat lady named Kim said thank you for prayers. With her family: husband Nick, 2 daughters and a son; Kim treated us to wings in exchange for our prayers. What a wonderful idea!

You see Kim has been waging a battle with cancer for over a year. And it looks like God is granting her wholeness. Many people, many churches - strangers who are friends who haven't met yet have been and will continue to pray for Kim. Through the medium of the Internet and an organization called "Caring Bridge" Kim has kept us updated on her progress. We, in turn, have written her notes of encouragment and we have prayed.

It looks now as though Kim has gone over the top, and so she wanted to say thank you and threw this wonderful, crazy "wing party." The firehall was packed and was ringing with laughter as people were drawn with the common thread of love for Kim. All glory was given to God and that'll preach.

You know, tomorrow will bring Kim many different things, maybe even more cancer. But last week love had the final say. Regardless of what her body does, Kim is already a winner. Her prayers have been answered.

Now I want to say thank you to Kim - it's been good for this old preacher to see God with skin on.
