Saturday Morning Mens Small Group
Prayr Bar Mstry is provided by the Saturday Morning Mens Small Group.
The following is a story from Linda Austin on the Prayer Bear Ministry. Thank
you, Linda, for your willingness to share this story:
In November my good friends nephew, Zac, died unexpectedly in North
Carolina. Zac had been in the military for a little over a decade. During thisdecade, he was deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan five times. Zac was a family
man and had to leave his wife and children many times (once being back
stateside for less than a month before being called to return to overseas duty).
Zac did not talk much about the horrors of war, but did share a few
heartrending episodes with close family and friends. Unfortunately the ravishes
of war was his secret companion and the PTSD was so sever that unexpectedly
he took his own life. Zac left behind a young family and large extended family, including a devastated
mother who suffers from MS.
During times of acute grief it is difficult to know how to comfort those in great pain. Not knowing what to
do, I went to my church to pray. When I turned to leave there were the Prayer Bears in the pews. The
Mens Group sponsors these sweet little teddy bears that sit every week waiting to give comfort and love to
anyone in need. The bears wear a cross, with a prayer pinned to them. I took several and was able to sendthem to Zacs daughters immediately.
My friend tells me the girls (ages 5, 8, 10, & 14) loved the Prayer Bears. When the 8-year-old daughter had
to return to her elementary school she was wearing the cross that belonged to her bear. The bear seemed
to mean the most to the 14-year-old who memorized the bears prayer. At the memorial service a week
later all four girls sat in the front row with their Prayer Bears. I wouldnt be surprised in the bears
accompany the girls to Arlington National Cemetery when their dad will be laid to rest with our countrys
great veterans.
I am so thankful to Aldersgate United Methodist Church and the Mens Group for their wonderful ministry.
Sincerely and with great gratitude,
Linda
