  This beautiful story was written by a doctor who worked in South Africa.
  
  One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in
  spite of all we could do, she died, leaving us with a tiny, premature baby
  and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the
  baby alive; as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an
  incubator). We also had no special feeding facilities.
  
  Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with
  treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such
  babies and the cotton wool that the baby would be wrapped in. Another went
  to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in
  distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst (rubber
  perishes easily in tropical climates). 'And it is our last hot water
  bottle!' she exclaimed..
  
  As in the West, it is no good crying over spilled milk, so in Central
  Africa it might be considered no good crying over burst water bottles.
  They do not grow on trees, and there are no drugstores down forest pathways.
  
  'All right,' I said, 'put the baby as near the fire as you safely can,
  and sleep between the baby and the door to keep it free from drafts.
  Your job is to keep the baby warm.'
  
  The following noon, as I did most days, I went to have prayers with
  any of the orphanage children who chose to gather with me. I gave the
  youngsters various suggestions of things to pray about and told them about
  the tiny baby. I explained our problem about keeping the baby warm enough,
  mentioning the hot water bottle, and that the baby could so easily die if
  it got chills. I also told them of the two-year-old sister, crying because
  her mother had died.
  
  During prayer time, one ten-year-old girl, Ruth, prayed with the usual
  blunt conciseness of our African children.
  
  'Please, God' she prayed, 'Send us a hot water bottle today. It'll be
  no good tomorrow, God, as the baby will be dead, so please send it this
  afternoon.'
  
  While I gasped inwardly at the audacity of the prayer, she added, 'And
  while You are about it, would You please send a dolly for the little girl so
  she'll know You really love her?'
  
  As often with children's prayers, I was put on the spot. Could I
  honestly say 'Amen?' I just did not believe that God could do this. Oh, yes,
  I know that He can do everything; the Bible says so. But there are limits,
  aren't there? The only way God could answer this particular prayer would be
  by sending me a parcel from the homeland. I had been in Africa for almost
  four years at that time, and I had never, ever, received a parcel from home.
  
  Anyway, if anyone did send me a parcel, who would put in a hot water bottle?
  I lived on the equator!
  
  Halfway through the afternoon, while I was teaching in the nurses'
  training school, a message was sent that there was a car at my front door.
  By the time I reached home, the car had gone, but there on the verandah was
  a large 22-pound parcel. I felt tears pricking my eyes.
  
  I could not open the parcel alone, so I sent for the orphanage
  children. Together we pulled off the string, carefully undoing each knot. We
  folded the paper, taking care not to tear it unduly. Excitement was
  mounting. Some thirty or forty pairs of eyes were focused on the large
  cardboard box.
  
  From the top, I lifted out brightly-colored, knitted jerseys. Eyes
  sparkled as I gave them out. Then there were the knitted bandages for the
  leprosy patients, and the children looked a little bored. Then came a box of
  mixed raisins and sultanas - that would make a batch of buns for the
  weekend.
  
  Then, as I put my hand in again, I felt the....could it really be? I
  grasped it and pulled it out. Yes, a brand new, rubber hot water bottle.
  I cried. I had not asked God to send it; I had not truly believed that He
  could.
  
  Ruth was in the front row of the children. She rushed forward, crying
  out, 'If God has sent the bottle, He must have sent the dolly, too!'
  Rummaging down to the bottom of the box, she pulled out the small,
  beautifully-dressed dolly.. Her eyes shone! She had never doubted!
  Looking up at me, she asked, 'Can I go over with you and give this dolly to
  that little girl, so she'll know that Jesus really loves her?'
  'Of course,' I replied.
  
  That parcel had been on the way for five whole months, packed up by my
  former Sunday school class, whose leader had heard and obeyed God's
  prompting to send a hot water bottle, even to the equator. And one of the
  girls had put in a dolly for an African child five months before, in answer
  to the believing prayer of a ten-year-old to bring it 'that afternoon.'
  
  'Before they call, I will answer.' (Isaiah 65:24)
  
  When you receive this, say the prayer. That's all you have to do. No
  strings attached. Just send it on to whomever you want - but DO send it on.
  Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no cost, but a lot
  of rewards. Let's continue praying for one another. This awesome prayer
  takes less than a minute.
  
  Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this. I ask You
  to minister to their spirit. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and
  mercy. Where there is self doubting, release a renewed confidence to work
  through them. Where there is tiredness or exhaustion, I ask You to give
  them understanding, guidance, and strength. Where there is fear, reveal Your
  love and release to them Your courage. Bless their finances, give them
  greater vision, and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage
  them. Give each of them discernment to recognize the evil forces around them
  and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it. I ask You to do
  these things in Jesus' name. Amen
  
  P.S. Passing this on to anyone you consider a friend will bless you
  both. Passing this on to one not considered a friend is something Christ
  would do.

  Recently I overheard a Father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure.
  
  Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the Father said, 'I love you, and I wish you enough.'
  
  The daughter replied, 'Dad, our life together has been more than enough.
  Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad.'
  They kissed and the daughter left. The Father walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry.
  I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, 'Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?'
  
  'Yes, I have,' I replied. 'Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?'.
  
  'I am old, and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is - the next trip back will be for my funeral,' he said.
  
  'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough..' May I ask what that means?'
  He began to smile. 'That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone...' He paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, and he smiled even more. 'When we said, 'I wish you enough,' we were wanting
  the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them.' Then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory.
  
  I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
  
  I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
  
  I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
  I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
  
  I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
  
  I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
  
  I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
  
  He then began to cry and walked away.
  
  They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them; but then an entire life to forget them.
  
  * Only if you wish send this to the people you will never forget and remember to send it back to the person who sent it to you. If you don't send it to anyone it may mean that you are in such a hurry that you have forgotten your friends.
  
  TAKE TIME TO LIVE....
  
  To all my friends and loved ones,
  I WISH YOU ENOUGH.

  Received this from a friend in the states: Thanks for this group!
  
  Greetings, Friends and Family!
  
  I hope all of you are doing well. I am writing to request that you all say a word of prayer, send some positive energy, or words encouragement toward a young lady, Maya McReynolds, who has been diagnosed with Sarcoma, which is a rare form of cancer. Maya is 19 years old, was diagnosed in October of 2009 and despite chemo treatments, the tumor is still growing. After her last outpatient treatment, she had a toxic reaction to the treatments, and she didn’t immediately wake up from them when it was time to go home. She is currently in the hospital, mending from the treatment. Her mom’s comment was that Maya is now having to make some difficult decisions about her care, and she’s asked “please send her energy for clarity.”
  
  Thank you,
  
  Devon

  The Fruit of the Spirit
  
  (Cp Col 3.12—13)
  
  
  By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.
  
  
  
  Note: Today's Gospel reading is Mark 8:22-30.
