If you have some extra prayers for my friend Chris he & his family could really use them 🙏🏼❤️
@annamuneca why is it that the local "i'll pray for you" folks can't get their arses in gear to offer any real help, like cooking, cleaning, dish washing, etc? prayer doesn't get the things done that physically need doing
@redenigma local folks ARE helping. They specifically asked for prayers 🤷🏻♀️
@annamuneca AND specifically asked for help with cleaning & dishes... which kinda indicates, to me anyway, that they aren't doing more than offering prayer
@redenigma so far they have 2 weeks worth of help scheduled for their household.
@redenigma @annamuneca i am glad to read that the local community are helping in physical ways, the OP made it sound like no help was forthcoming
@Mauve_matelot i realize that for believers prayer can help, but when one is physically ill, actual assistance with daily life is so much more practical & not at all mutually exclusive
@redenigma I agree with you, thoughts and prayers can sound trite, yet as a person of faith there are times when I not physically available, but knowing that others are aware and seeking to support my situation makes me feel less adrift in my situation.
@redenigma I also try when possible to step up with my physical offers when I can, this is part of the reason I am part if the British Red Cross, because so often those with lots of time on their hands have not got fantastic health and those with good health struggle to prioritise who they can assist effectively
@annamuneca ok. good. i hope they get what they need. long, undiagnosed illness really sucks
