Those Who Work Hard

Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. — 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13a

My friend Mari works hard for the Lord.

She prays for others, tells them about Jesus, and lives to serve Him.

She walks her neighbors dogs.

Here's one she brought on our walk down to the Old Mission Dam.

And she cares for their pets when they are unable to.

I admire and respect her.

She will go in for a scan tomorrow to see if the doctors can find why she is still in so much pain.

I am praying for her healing and for relief from the pain.
