    • Sympathy

      From Val47 October 13

      Oh honey, I know how you feel. Today I was in turmoil, I drove up to a local park and sat for ages listening to some christian music. I had to ring a friend and ask for prayer right then and there. I took a walk round the lake and just lost myself in the beauty around me. I feel calmer than I did. God is dealing with me.
