A mysterious stash of books found hiding in my spare dresser drawer... Filled to the brim. And I don't know why I put them in there. I was (am) weird.

We will never know from how much sin we have been saved and how much temptation we have conquered all because someone prayed for us. A servant girl became a member of a church and was asked what Christian work she did. She said that she did not have the opportunity to do much because her duties were so constant but, she said, “When I go to bed I take the morning newspaper with me. I read the notices of the births and I pray for all the little babies. I read the notices of marriage and I pray that those who have been married may be happy. I read the announcements of death and I pray that the sorrowing may be comforted.” No one can ever tell what tides of grace flowed from her attic room. When we can serve people no other way, we can pray for them. ~ William Barclay’s Commentary on Thessalonians
