Operation Joy Reminds Us...

"The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." – Psalm 34:18 (NIV)

S got upset as Paul approached a group of women near the station. The reason was that the first time S met Paul she remembered being with L who had since died. That association made her very tearful and when Paul looked up in his records when this was it was back in August 2024 demonstrating how long she had mourned her friend. Having distributed some snacks Paul moved on with the promise that he would pray for the group. J was one of them and in fact Paul had not seen her since covid began but they became friends on Facebook. Paul remembered that J had lost her grown up son and the grief is still evident. Prayer was appreciated here.
