Every now and then there’s a story on the news that profoundly touches us and stops us dead in our tracks. The story of Lauren Scruggs is one of those stories. I heard about Lauren a week ago, and have been praying for her ever since. She’s a magical 23 year old woman who radiates beauty from the inside out. I’m not sure if it’s because I have a daughter a bit younger than Lauren, or that I could hear the pain in her parent’s voices, or just the fact that we tend to reflect on the humanity of man a bit more this time of year. Whatever the reason, Lauren has stolen my heart. If you haven’t heard of Lauren yet, here is a short video to tell you more:
I’m sure she would appreciate your warm thoughts and prayers. Here is a Scrugg’s family website where you can stay updated on Lauren’s progress, as well as make a donation.
I wanted to send something to Lauren to cheer her up, and chose this piece of art below…hoping it makes it to her hospital room.
Cindy – just lovely, somehow you always seem to know just the right things to say. You have such a magical gift, healing heart and generous spirit. Best, Kim
