My grandmother grew flowers and she separated them and shared
them. She always said that you can't say thank you to someone when they share
a flower from the garden or it won't grow. Prayers are similar in that no
thanks are ever needed they grow better in the quiet.
I am blessed. Currently I work with several Christians on my team. We all attend churches of different denominations but we have the same basic belief. The other day my sister had shared a prayer request. It was one that was appropriate to share and so I shared it with my co-worker. I teased my sister that I put her prayer request on the work prayer chain.
The co-worker that I shared with also had a similar prayer request that I shared back with my sister. As I was providing my co-worker with an update today, she thanked me for my sister and I praying for her. It made me think of Grandma Field and her saying that you shouldn't say thank you for flowers. After all they are a gift from God. And isn't that what prayer is? Lifting each other up in prayer is a privilege that God gives us.
