Shade Tree Wisdom 9/18/15

Shade Tree Wisdom 9/18/15
          In his letter to the church  St. James writes
“And pray for one another
That you may be healed”
James 5,16
          He puts his finger on a weak spot in many lives. This praying for the other, friend or foe, is a task we often take lightly or forget altogether.
          I dare to ask, does your prayer life contain others, either friend or foe, in your list of people you regularly,  and fervently, pray for?
          St. James ads something else.He writes first,
“And confess your sins to one another, that
You may be healed.”
          That ads an important demission to his words, does it not.
We do well to listen to  this venerable Church Father, St. James.
