Ashley talked to her siblings every day, and all of them were praying, praying with a kind of fervor none of them had known before. Not because they doubted God's faithfulness in hearing their prayers and answering. But because they appreciated her so much more now, appreciated everything she'd ever done, every perfect word or loving touch. Before they might've taken her for granted once in a while, the way kids sometimes do with their parents. But not anymore.
Ashley maintained daily communication with her siblings, and together they engaged in earnest prayers, fueled by a newfound appreciation for her. This deepened fervor wasn't rooted in doubt about God’s responsiveness but rather in their recognition of Ashley's value and the love she had always shown them. They were reflecting on her countless acts of kindness and support that they may have previously overlooked.
The siblings' prayers highlighted a significant shift in perspective. No longer did they take Ashley’s contributions for granted, as they had at times during their younger years. Instead, they viewed her with heightened gratitude and respect, realizing the depth of her love and the importance of her presence in their lives.
