Your call to prayer is very timely, Helen. I do not know Portia, but the urge to pray for her came to me as I read. Thank you for extending your kindness to her and reminding us to hold each other up. :)

Your prayer form in the style of the peppered pickle is great, Helen. Great work with conveying your heartfelt message. I have not heard from Portia either. I did not know of the health issues of her family. Your poem reads well with a strong and clear message. Thanks for sharing and caring.
Respectfully, Jan

Keep on Praying
by lyenochka
Hello, Helen,
Thank you for reminding me to pray for our friends. I have a friend fighting cancer. Do you remember Douglas the badger? He died last year. We got very close talking to each other every day in a chat room. Even though he was fighting cancer he helped me get through my depression. He was an amazing man and friend.
Thank you very much, well done.

I didn't know Douglas the Badger. I know Darren who goes by Brother Badger. He's just published his book of poems. I'm so glad you were able to connect with him. He was blessed to be there for you. Thanks for reviewing, Gypsy! Hugs!

Funny story, I chatted with Darren who aka Brother Badger and found out we both lived in Sacramento, before I moved to Pasadena down south, and we met in person. He is a character but very nice. Yes, Douglas was a blessing for me too. Thank you

Glad you knew both "badger" poets! 💖
Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Helen, thank you for letting me know about Portia, and what is happening in her family. I had noticed that she had not reviewed any of my posts for sometime, but many reviewers are moving or grieving or recovering for a time; and are not active reviewers.
But when it's a health issue, and a serious one, we do need to call upon God's grace to do what is best for her, her husband, and her son.

You included so much in this short piece and yet the message is smooth and easy to understand. Short but perfect. Very nicely done for the addition to the book

Thank you so much, Barb. I was about to fix it to remove any sense of lack of grace in one line. Your super rating is so appreciated, Barb! Hugs!

Hi, Helen,
I read through your poem, the form is brief, but does a sound job of grabbing attention and relaying the thoughts and concerns, and requesting prayers, even though it can be disheartening when you don't or can't know what is happening on the other side of a screen. Connected virtually or not, these thoughts are felt, and hopefully heard, related, and shared.

This was so important Helen, the fact that you not only reach out to other members but pray for them as well is so important. It is great that you take the time and interest in others especially during this pandemic time. I enjoyed your Peppered Pickle. Well done.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
I don't think she has posted a poem lately. I enjoy her poems. The peppered pickle poem is very concise, but yours delivers a strong, uplifting message about loss and the Lord's love. I never know about
losses of members till someone mentions them in their posts.

An excellent prayer for another of your Fan Story friends. It sounds like she is a caretaker for her family. May the good Lord give her strength and peace.

Thank you, Judy! I believe she's had a very long battle with cancer. She just returned this year and then is taking another break.
Hugs!

and thanks for sharing
about Portia. I am sorry
to hear about her situation.
-Not too long ago, it seemed
she was doing really well and

dealing with life's situations.
