In a previous post I mentioned a friend of mine who suffered a stroke and is now unable to move or speak. She's doing so much better thanks to prayers and an amazing support system but their bills are piling up and since I don't have free time to help out physically, I thought I could teach Skylar a lesson in helping out in other ways. A few of her friends have had shirts made while others have offered to send the proceeds from their business to the family. I went with both in order to help out and also it's a reminder for me to pray for her often. We bought shirts and a necklace that has now been called our "Holly" necklace. The actual name of the necklace is called "Soar" and we all thought it was fitting since it reminded us of the verse in Isaiah: "but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on
wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be
faint." So now every time I wear my necklace, I think of her and pray for her. The other thing my family opted to do was to purchase shirts and sweaters being made on her behalf and this is where I was able to involve Skylar. Since they make shirts in her size, I got us matching ones and tried my best to explain to her what the shirts represent. At this age she is more excited about the fact that we match but each time we wear it, I remind her too to pray for our sweet friends.
