Dusty,
You are indeed a prayer warrior of the first class!
Thank you for your well wishes for us all and thank you for reminding us that even "NO" is a prayer answered.
God knows best and befuddles us and frustrates us because we don't get out own desires/needs met in our time, but like a good Parent, Our Father Who Art in Heaven, doesn't spoil us, just cares and loves us beyond human understanding.
May we all Keep the Son in our eyes as a new year unfolds.
