Prayer request.

Not for me, but for a close friend of ours and her children. The friend, whom I shall call Teresa because it sounds nothing like her real name, is an immigrant, and her closest family members live about 1300 miles away. She has spent the past week making a break from an abusive marriage, and Heather has been helping out every day. There are two little children involved (not abused themselves), and it has been heart-rendingly painful and difficult for them, too.

Prayers for Heather, too--it's been stressful for her as well, though not nearly at the same level.

Thanks.
