A Neighbor in Need

Right after the girls and I got home from the gym, our next door neighbor rang the bell.  I don't like answering the door when James isn't home.  She rang a couple times and I ignored her.  Well, James saw her when he got home and told me her husband passed away.  I have been praying for Paul's cancer for months and hadn't realized he was getting worse.  Of course I feel bad, but I wouldn't have been able to chat in the middle of the day with the girls home anyways.  So I went over and rang her doorbell.  For once, no one that lives there was home!  So I wrote a note telling her I know there is nothing I can say that will make her feel better but I am praying for her and her family.
