Yesterday I was traveling back from Chicago and had an interesting flight. We quickly discovered that an elderly lady was pretty sick and needed medical assistance. The flight attendants asked for anyone in the medical field to come forward. At one point we thought that we were going to have to make an emergency landing but ended up not having to do that.

I started saying some prayers on behalf of this women but as I looked around the plane I could tell that some others must be doing the same thing. When we arrived at DFW, everyone waited patiently while the medical staff attended to this woman.
It turns out that she was must have been OK because she was still on the plane as I got off. I have to think that maybe, just maybe, my prayers and those from others on the flight might have just helped this lady in a small way.
Keep doing kind deeds. We are almost half way through with the challenge!
Peace and gratitude,
Bill
