When my son was a baby, I met an amazing woman named Linda. Our sons were born a week apart. She and I were good friends. I moved away years ago, but she continues to inspire me and so many others. Here is a heartwarming story~I ask that you keep her in your prayers.

I sure will Kate. hugs.
I just watched the video and I’m so touched! I’m glad you shared this story. Linda is really a lovely woman, with a great outlook despite losing her home and obviously a very serious health crisis. I think she makes an indelible impression on those she meets, and on me, too! Prayers for our sick friends…my list is long, but sometimes God brings other people to my attention and I can always add them in. Whew! Debra
Debra—i appreciate your prayers and I will pray for your list as ‘Debra’s loving list’ as well. God connects us all in marvelous ways. Have a blessed day, my friend~Kate
Have added Linda to my daily/nightly prayers! God bless you–love, sis Caddo
Thanks, dear Sis. Take care and God bless you BIG
Thank you Kate for helping me to be reminded being humble is a good thing.
[sniffing while swiping tears away] Lit my prayer candle tonight in Linda’s name, then lit one for you, her family and her other friends/
God Bless~
you are the best. Love and prayers and many hugs and saucy red hats to you……
What an inspiring story! I wept as I watched it! Thank you Kate
