A Remarkable Girl Named Sara



I stumbled across a blog posting at Holy Experience last night that touched my heart. It is one of the many stories I have read about a girl named Sara. I found myself sitting at my desk with tears flowing for someone I have never met. When I read all the different stories posted on so many blogs about how many lives she has touched and how much she is adored  I was just consumed. I wanted more! I clicked on everything I could find of her story.

 I finally found her blog, it is full of so much life, what a beautiful woman with so much love and joy when she is laboring to breath from her illness. She said in her blog she didn't want to be a complainer. Wow...it makes me stop and think about the things I complain about. The silly things that seem so small now. I want to change this in me, I want to make sure that I'm giving thanks even when its tough. I want my heart full of love and joy.

Shannon's  post today was so beautiful, the way she described their relationship their "familyship" I love that word.

Through everything she has kept her faith,her love and joy.

Dearest Sara,
Thank you!!! You have touched my heart in such a way that I really can not express. Your strength, your outlook on life and your amazing love for God. You are a remarkable women that has touched so many lives for what I have read. You have brought so much joy to others and so much love. You are in my prayers, and for your loved ones ":familyships" I pray for them to embrace all they have shared with you I pray for peace. Thank you again for opening up your life and sharing with us all. You're in our hearts!
