somewhere on my road of faith i heard a story about John Wesley's mother and her apron. John Wesley was a giant in the faith and inspires us still today... it seems Mrs. Wesley couldn't find anywhere to be alone to pray, with eight children, so soon it became the norm for her to put her apron over her head and eveyone knew not to bother her at such times...prayers were said and heard in the midst of the chatter of family!
we have the priviledge of praying for others, arm in arm we can make a difference, let us not grow weary...Debbie
