...they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.
Mark 16:18b
This chapter is a wonderful example of love, compassion and forgiveness. When crisis happen people will put their differences aside and help one another. It is at this moment that people walk in love. Love thinks of others over itself. Love keeps no record of wrongs. Love is kind. Another form of love is prayer. Praying for others is taking a burden someone is carrying and giving it to the Lord Jesus. It was love that sent Jesus to the cross to reconcile us to God. It was at the cross where we were made whole. I love this verse in Isaiah 53 verses 4 & 5 it says: " Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed."
Today take some time to pray for those you know who are sick. Look up some healing scriptures and meditate on God's truth.
Activity: If you know someone who is sick or in the hospital make a Get Well Prayer Card. Let them know you are praying for them and don't forget to include your favorite verse.

Talk with your children about taking certain precautions during flu season. Wash their hands after going to the market. Cover their mouth if they have to cough or sneeze. Make sure they wash their hands after in order not to pass the germs. Drink lots of water and make sure you get some sunshine to absorb the wonderful vitamin D from the sun. Vitamin D helps prevent colds as well as Vitamin C.
