I learned last night that when you feel like you should pray for someone, and you do it, they can feel it.
Sometimes they might even know it was you who prayed for them.
It makes me wonder how many times in my life when, as I've felt comfort, if it was a direct result of someone praying for me. Specifically. I pray for others often, and I sometimes forget it's a real thing - that brings REAL results.
I think last night was the first time in my life I've had such immediate proof that it really does happen. Tears, love, and gratitude were all involved. My testimony was increased.
It was humbling, comforting, and undeniable.
I already knew prayer was real, but starting today, I will try not to take prayer for granted. Not only will I pray with more specific intent as I go and do in my life, but I will pay more heed and know that the Lord truly does hear us. Every. single. word: every. single. time.
So today I'm grateful for that, and a testimony that has the potential to grow by leaps and bounds every day of my life.
Also, today I'm grateful for these:
I used to almost live on them while singing every day in Nauvoo. They are my sickness go-to now and forevermore.
They helped me sleep last night, and are carrying me through the work day today.
Random sickness would be misery without them. :)

I love prayer!
I do not love Ricola's, although I'm glad they're very helpful for you. (They just taste like illness to me, you see. And I'm a wanny?)
Probably my favorite blog post of all time. Really. Love you.
