Sweet Jesus, Thank You

In January of this year, I was in the midst of a very emotional family crisis. An automobile accident, three years earlier, left me great physical pain and stress. Due to the situation, I experienced mental pain as well and felt very much alone.
I joined an online support group but had not read any of their e-mail when my husband was arrested for domestic violence. That night I laid in bed sobbing. I told Jesus I needed his loving arms to hold me as I felt so alone and hurt.
The next day, I decided to check my e-mail. I discovered more than 20 hugs from people whom I did not know but who were members of the online support group. Later that day I received two phone calls. One was from a friend. I had not heard from her in over a year. The second call was from a dear cousin with whom I'd lost contact.
Throughout the day my life seemed filled with unexpected joy and I knew Jesus had sent me those hugs and loved ones in my time of need. Sweet Jesus, thank you.
