Karen prayers continuing for you and your family!

Gary - congrats on the chili - may your rememberance of "grandma Judi" be one of special times and special feelings! I'm sure the party was AWESOME!

Bev - so glad that you are able to turn the whole situation with Dennis into a joy! Prayers continue for you and your family!

A good day here! The last medical test at 7 this morning, then 9 hours of work, and the whole gang (nieces, nephews, SIL and all the kids) was visiting when I got home. I was able to spend several hours with folk I haven't seen for a couple years.

Hope you all had a blessed day!
Prayers continuing for all!

Laurie

DEAR KAREN ~ You have been thru a lot lately -- many major stressors in your life facing illness, moving, and the passing of dear loved one, all in such a short time. Prayers goin' up that the LORD will wrap His lovin' arms around you tonight and touch your heart with His Peace that passes understanding; His Love that casts out all fears; His Grace that brings serenity in the toughest of circumstances; and His sweet comfort that exceeds all our expectations ...

DH and I have been thru similar experiences and learned that we are not responsible for what others do or how they behave, but only for ourselves; and like GARY says, as long as we do what is right, that is all that matters to GOD ... you are a good person and you can set a good Christian example for your family by focusing on what really matters -- love and kindness ...

BEV ~ glad you had a nice visit with your brother; and that they are providing some rehab for him too.


Just a quiet day at home; it rained all day, so I was trying to rest up a bit more today. Had to soak my leg today; back to the old routine but it needed it and it is a bit painful tonight. Thank you all so much for your prayers -- I need them and appreciate them very much.

^PRAYERS^ ascending for everyone tonight, esp those with heavy hearts, illness, and family issues -- just remember that GOD loves and cares for us all. I really love singing songs of peace and praise from a hymnal that I ordered some years ago from a book store. It has all the popular hymns and some gospel songs from many denominations; it called the Celebration Hymnal. I love to spend some time on Sundays and sing some of them.

Take good care; and may GOD BLESS you all with peace and serenity tonight ... ROSEBUD

BEV ~ What a great day with your brother! Prayers for being able to see his daughter!

SCOOTER ~ You must be busy with all that family and tests!

ROSEBUD ~ I am sorry for all that rain! And that "healing" as we wish it is still on hold for that leg...hugs.

KAREN ~ I got to thinking at work today, if it doesn't work out soon with your brother and sister and your dad's ashes...what about you going out to the lake to say "good-bye" as you wish...something that you will remember every time you go out there to pic-nic...fish...remember. When your sis and brother are ready you can join them too, as they do their thing...take care.

Thanks for the prayers and joy about my brother, Dennis. please keep the prayers going!

Gary - what a great idea for KAREN...

going to bed early...that means before 3! i am BEAT!!!

peace

Thanks again Gary, I never thought of that and I really haven't been thinking that clearly anyway. But that does make a lot of sense. I think I will mention that to Tim and then maybe us, my son and his family will just take off and go and do that ourselves. My son wants so much to be a part of this too before they leave and move to Florida. I think it is a great idea. I'll let you know how things go.

Don't know about Leukemia, I had breast cancer that has spread to my bones, and maybe lungs, although the lung thing looks better, now. The drug I am on works for a specific kind of breast cancer. My oncologist is quite pleased that it is mostly contained in my bones . I pray for anyone as we , as Christians should do, but especially cancer, there are so many different kinds. It was many years ago that I had breast cancer and was shocked to find it had spread, No one knows why this occurs. I continue to trust in God,and as I told my pastor I rely on prayer and as much laughter as I can find. That is why I love this forum, I went on some breast cancer forums and found them to be too depressing. The differance, of course, is that if you don't know God, you have no hope.

Hi Everyone!

It sounds like so many are facing great trials in their life. I'm so glad that our God is the Great Physician and He cares about everyone of our needs.

I had my doctor appointment yesterday. My thyroid was good, but my cholesterol was high and I have a Vitamin D deficiency. My sister also has a "D" deficiency. I have been taking 1000 mg of D now he wants me to take 2000. I don't have another checkup for 6 months so I'm praying that I can get the cholesterol down and the D up.! I do feel a lot better than I have been feeling.

I have a prayer request. I had mentioned before about the friend of our that is like a second dad to me is dying. I found out today that he may not make it through the night. The Hospice nurses are staying all night tonight and he didn't wake up all day. They said he was moaning all day though he is not suppose to be in pain. Your prayers for the family would be appreciated. Their daughter that lives in Florida is flying in tonight. Prayer that she arrives before he passes.

Again, I'm thank full that God understands all our needs. Have a great week.

Kathy

Looks like a trend on this forum right now - But, our God is a great and AWESOME God - who can conquer ALL things!

Prayers continuing for all! And - an unusual addendum from me - my medical tests came back with unfavorable results (mammogram), so I am scheduled for additional radiology and ultrasound tests next Friday. Prayers requested!

Thanks to all - I appreciate every one of you

Laurie

Gods Blessing for everyone

Hi Gals ~

Taking in the All-Star game...Angie was with me playing on the computer while I watched, she is taking a yoga break right now.

Had our black bean and feta cheese tacos tonight...I sure do like them!

All your prayer requests are being sent up over in the Prayer Warrior thread!

BEV...I will send out a letter I just wrote fro Dennis tomorrow...

Hey everyone,

Back at home again until Mon., doc says to keep my leg wrapped and Daddy is doing a great job of that. I do love him.

Bargoo, I will be praying for you. My sister is going thru also. She had breast cancer and has pretty much beat it, now she has leukemia, she just keeps trusting God for her healing, but she certainly has her down times. My niece had breast cancer, and before she or we knew it , it had spread all over her body, bones, lungs, liver and brain and more but It was amazing, we never ever heard her once complain, she knew that she was in God's hands and she was never affraid. She is now with God and lives on in us. I pray for everyone and anyone with this diease and pray for your strength.

Laurie, I will be talking to God about you tonight and asking Him to give you peace and rest. He is in control and that is the best we can ask for. I love you very much, you are always there when I need advice as well as many of you are. Now it is my turn to stand in the gap for you. Rest my friend.

To everyone else I will return tomorrow to talk more, not feeling too great right now. Love to all of you and please have sweet dreams.

Prayers going up for you and yours tonight ...

Good morning everyone!

I'm back from my weekend at the lake. It was really nice and relaxing. The weather was perfect. Came home to rain but that's okay. We needed it!
Now it's back to work and back to getting into a routine again. Tonight it's grocery night so I can stock up on the veggies, etc.

I've been reading through all your posts and have added the concerns to my prayer list. Even though I'm not mentioning anyone by name right now I do keep you in my prayers.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Laurie, I will be praying for good results for your tests. I understand completely what you are going through.

Hi Everyone!

I haven't been able to make it on here in a little while. Our crazy summer schedule continues!

I have been reading over everyone's posts and boy there is a lot going on! I will be adding all the concerns/health issues to my prayer list. I'm sorry to hear that so many are having struggles. Praying for God's comfort, peace, strength, and healing!

I probably won't be around much in the next couple of weeks. We are taking a trip to Florida next week to visit all our family and friends. I'm hoping this short vacation will bring some refreshing for me and my dh, we really need it. After we return from Florida me and my daughter will be heading out to Oklahoma to the ASA National 14-U Softball Tournament. My daughter's team won the State ASA Tournament and now they will compete Nationally!

I will be keeping you all in my prayers and stopping back in when I can! (((Hugs)))

~Tammy~
