It came in the form of a bitter colleague, a reminder to pray.

It came in the form of words, an acknowledgement.

It came in the form of an email, a reminder of His blessings.

It came in the form of a servant, who simply loved.

It came in the form of a friend, that shared in the painfulness of the world.

It came in the form of a memory, of a promise.
