Relay for Life

      Last night, my husband and I joined his work's Relay for Life team! We raised only $230 between the two of us, but our team raised near $5000 as of last night! The hubs forgot to go to the meeting for assigning walking slots, so all they had left when he called was the midnight to 4am shift! We got there around 11:45pm and left a little after 2:30am. It was mid 40s last night here, so we were a little cold, but walking warmed us up! I also had a cold last night, or rather the last few days, so being in the cold didn't help that; my nose is even more stuffed up this morning!
      I felt wonderful walking last night! I walked for my aunt and uncle who are cancer survivors! My aunt got breast cancer and beat it, and within a few months, her husband, my uncle, found out he had colorectal cancer. They are both healthy now, thank the Lord!
      I cannot tell you how many times last night while walking I had this urge to pray. I prayed for my family. I prayed for everybody at the event. I prayed for the survivors. I prayed for the sufferers. I prayed for the families that have lost a loved one. I prayed for the people that donated time and money to this cause. I prayed and prayed and prayed!
