Carol, prayers for your family as well. I mis-carried four little ones early in my pregnancies. While it is incredibly hard to deal with, God does provide comfort and solace in times such as these. May you find peace and grace showered upon you as you move through this difficult and painful experience.
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS ~ they are so very appreciated by all; just knowing someone is praying for you can give you so much peace and calm; very comforting ... So many people today are facing so many challenges; it sure helps to keep our focus on GOD. Look up, look up ... for your help draweth nigh ...
CAROL ~ sending up prayers for you and your family too: miscarriage is very disappointing as I know from personal experience, like Laurie (CD), but GOD does send his comfort and in time, even the memory fades somewhat, which helps a lot, and I am grateful for that.
BARGOO ~ have already sent up prayers for ARLENE, and her surgeons for tomorrow that the LORD will give them His wisdom; and peace and comfort and a speedy recovery for ARLENE.
GUESS WHAT??? We got *** SNOW *** ... all day long, but it all melted and now it's raining. Here May showers bring June flowers ~ LOL! Oh well, at least there's no buggies; the few that came out in early May have died off: yeah! Someone says that spraying LISTERINE is supposed to kill them and keep them away, but I've never heard of that before, but it just may be worth trying to see if it works!!!
WE'VE had two good days; stayed in mostly becuz of the weather; got some letters done and worked on our backup PC for DH (as his old one gave up the ghost). Spent yesterday moving thing around and setting things up; it's a good excuse to do some spring cleaning while we're at it ~ LOL!
FOR some reason (unbeknown to us) they moved our May 24th holiday long weekend up one week here in Canada; many people are not happy about it and many up north here, didn't even go to their cottages becuz they knew the rain and *** were on there way. They are gonna go next week just like they traditionally do; that's the weekend many put in their early cold-loving plants like the salad gardens. Down south has an earlier start than us.
ANYHOW, hope you all have a great week coming up; take good care, your fellow encourager ROSEBUD ^^^ PRAYERS ^^^ ascending ...
No changes. This is a praise! Please continue to pray for Cannon that God will perform a miracle. The two other babies that died last week, they are holding the bodies and haven't had the funeral yet. They are waiting to see how Cannon is doing so they can bury them together. I pray that there will be a significant change in Cannon so they will go ahead and bury Luke and Molly. Thank you all so much for the prayers.
Thankyou for all the prayers, there is a lot going on around here lately and I really need them. We're going thru some stuff with our church and it's very disappointing added on top of the craziness at home right now it has been no fun. I'm just trying to get done what I can get done and whatever I have to let go I'm lettin it go.
Prayers for all of you, Rosebud, Carol, bargoo, justwant, gary (is it possible to survive a day without a Starbucks run?), thinking of you all.
Thank you for the prayers. Just this morning I was thinking that we now have 10 grandchildren........2 in heaven and my mom gets to see them first. Oh the joy she must be experiencing!
PRAYERS are continuing for CANNON (and his parents), ARLENE, CAROL'S DAUGHTER + SON + DIL, TRISH & family, SUE'S TRIP, and of course, REBA'S feet; everything that is important to us is important to GOD!
HAVE A GOOD WEEK EVERYONE! ROSEBUD

Hello all, just checking in. A cold and rainy day here in northern MI. Thankfully, prayers don't depend on good weather. I'm continuing my prayers for all, God is gracious and powerful and faithful.
JUST wanted to come in and tell you all that I am continuing to keep your friends and loved ones in my daily prayers. I know that I have more free time than some of you, so I don't mind doing this at all. I rather enjoy being a 'Prayer Warrior for GOD' as it makes me feel more purposeful too.
I wanted to mention a couple of people to you in passing; and if any of you have a minute to spare this week, they could use a prayer. They are both neighbours of ours and need prayers:
#1 ~ Rick J. came by tonight and was visibly upset (and intoxicated) becuz he just came back from specialists (doctors) who told him that they believe that he doesn't have long to live. He is only in his forties and has children and a partner; he had a very rough and abusive childhood which has resulted in a drinking problem (he is an alcoholic), smokes (is trying to quit), and has a serious weight problem (and can't seem to lose the weight fast enuff to please the doctors). Apparently, his heart is finished (his words) and the weight is causing him a problem; so I'd say that the writing is on the wall. I do already have his name in with two large prayer groups. I told him that we would pray for him: what else can you say to that kind of prognosis??? This is a tough situation and Rick needs lots of prayers ...
#2 ~ James M. came by yesterday, and he is only in his twenties; he has diabetes, and a couple of years ago, he weighed almost 500 lbs (in the high 400's). Well, over the last 1-2 years, he has lost a lot of weight (over 200 lbs); that is ... "WITHOUT" dieting or exercising, as we know it. SO, his doctors are concerned with 'why' he has lost so much weight in such a short time, WITHOUT EVEN TRYING! I had asked him jokingly yesterday 'what is your secret: you've lost so much weight and I need help'. And he then told me they were going to do a battery of tests on him today to find out why. I told him that I hoped it wasn't becuz of something bad. Anyways, I started praying for him right away, becuz I sure hope it isn't his heart or cancer or anything like that ...
ANYHOW, I'll let you know what happens with these two fellas, if you are interested. I really don't know what else to do but pray for them. I am a firm believer in prayer and its positive results. About 4 or 5 years ago, I started journaling all the answers to our prayers and the blessings that GOD has given to us, and I was absolutely amazed at just how many were answered. Actually, almost all of them were answered; there is 'only one' that is started, but not quite finished yet (but it was only a desire, not a need; so I wasn't that concerned about it). Isn't that interesting??? I think it's good to journal so that we don't forget how often HE DOES ANSWER OUR PRAYERS, becuz I think we forget all too fast!
OUR WEATHER here is cold and rainy too, which is usual for our area though. Had a busy day spiffing the place up, as the landlord of our complex is sending yet another real estate agent to view the building tomorrow. So it will be a busy day, as we are going into town in the morning, then have to get back in time for the viewing.
ANYWAYS, glad everyone is doing well; and prayers continue for everyone as requested. Take good care, your fellow encourager ROSEBUD

I have had a busy week at work but I should be off a little early tomorrow and have 3 more days off Angie and I hope to do 3 5K's of various locations and levels this week-end, she may add one tomorrow running and me walking the dogs too...hoping to have more than 12 miles in over the next 4 days. If the weather is nice we may do one here in the neighborhood, one to Starbucks, one at the beach and one at duck pond.
We shall see, we also have a BBQ, dinner at friends, church and other family stuff too.
I am so happy this thread is striving!
C-D...aka Scooter Mama ~ I hope the weather perks up a bit for you and you have a great week-end for that 5K!...have a dark beer on me ...I'll stick to light...and here's hoping not too many!
ROSEBUD ~I have added James and rick to my list also. Amazing how many prayers God does answer that we forgot about! I hope your weather gets nicer too for the week-end
AUNT SUE ~WOW! Oxford and Romania...how exciting...bet you're gonna miss them! Glad your trip was cool
SHY ~ Awesome with Leslie as usual! Hope all is well with your family
CAROL ~ Prayers for your family as they struggle with the miscarraiges.
TRISH ~ Prayers for the struggles at your church. Yep, I can go a day w/o Starbucks ....in fact I am a Folgers kinda guy...just on Saturday's when Angie and I walk the dogs that way to start the week-end...if possible, Angie gets tea and a scone and I get a coffee...then we haul butt home so she can get off to bell choir practice at church! I hope the graduation goes/went well...have a great family week-end.
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS ~ they are so very appreciated by all; just knowing someone is praying for you can give you so much peace and calm; very comforting ... So many people today are facing so many challenges; it sure helps to keep our focus on GOD. Look up, look up ... for your help draweth nigh ...
