Pray for Betty
Rose asked for a Thanksgiving meal from a local organization to be delivered to her very sick brother (Charlie) on Thanksgiving day. Charlie wouldn't be alone all day and would get a good, hot, authentic turkey dinner.
Charlie passed before Thanksgiving. Rose didn't have time to tell the org that Charlie had passed. Charlie's daughter (Betty) was cleaning out his apartment, all alone on Thanksgiving. She didn't have help in handling all of her father's (and likewise her) memories. She didn't want to take the meal. She was afraid someone else would go hungry.
Say a prayer for Betty.
Pray that she be comforted by the good times with her father rather than his illness and absence.
Pray that she see something that Charlie would like and it makes her smile.
Pray that we be like her when someone needs us to and that we have someone like her when we need it.
