As I pray for Anna, Celeste, Coleen, Jackie, Karen, Kristie, Nancy, Sara, Sherri, Tara, and Wendi, I think of how these women will be seen as sheep in the eyes of the Lord:
Matthew 25: 34-40 (NIV)
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
May God give them the strength and wisdom to help those in need.

I've been meditating on this verse for a couple of months now; it often comes to the front of my mind as I work. I was re-reading it this morning, and was planning to post this verse myself.
Thanks, Phill.
