Prayers and Praises

Today Feb 28th was the schedule day that we were to pick airport from Georgia. Got word last night that she is not returning. Nobody has been able to talk any sense to her. How do you leave your apartment, belongs, childrens things and decide not to return. Found out she gave half of the money that was due to be given back and gave it to her boyfriend. All she says, is she needs to be there . ” ” Her kids need her “. . Her two children live with their father and his wife. She and kids are living in a motel. { where they have the past three weeks } This is crazy and she tells us on the phone that she can’t stand to listen to all this negativity.
Our prayers are for these children. We pray that God will hold these children in his care. That he will provide them with Love, food, shelter , protection and a structured loving environment. Even if this means that they be taken away from her and put in a loving, caring foster home. We are devestated and feel so helpless. Please keep us in prayer as we try to heal from all this. We seek comfort and strength and God’s grace to get us through.

Please pray my friends. Their son was killed this morning in an accident. My heart is breaking for this family and all they have been through. He was only 22yrs old. Please pray for God’s love to shower on them and strength to hold up these next few weeks.

A Good report, Praise God!!! My sisters friend who was Dx with stage 4 melanoma of face with lymph node involvement. Had the best report possible from hospital after surgery. They said the involvement was only the most local nodes, all other nodes were clear and soooo no chemo and no radiation at this time. Repeat PET scan in 6 months. They are thrilled! Thank you Lord!!!

Please add my friend to your prayers. She will be going to family court for a custody battle with the father of their child. She is a good mother and has great family support but father of the child states untruths about this family that I have known for almost 30 years.

Asking for prayers for our daughter. She is in a bad situation. Was 7 weeks pregnant but lost the baby after her boyfriend/fiancé hit her (not the first time apparently). She is staying with us till we find her a new place. She has 3 children and is now on her own. Praying for healing and that God will carry her through this pain.

Please pray for my brother in law. He is having knee surgery but has other health issues that make the surgery more difficult. Also please pray for my sister as she waits for the results of the surgery. They are both Christians and have placed him in Gods hands, the best place to be! 🙂

Please pray for a friend and her family.  Her husband, was admitted to the hospice house, this week.

We Praise God for we had learned that our grandson was in an accident last Wednesday night. He was driving and hit a patch of back ice, lost control of car. Came across another black ice patch and lost control of car again hitting a car and was heading towards a tree, when he smashed into a truck. No one was hurt. His vehicle was totalled.
On Thursday we received call that his older brother 26 was found to have three lumps on his chest. . At the same time, his brother 20 was treated for a rare form of cancer last year ( only 6 known cases anywhere and he was one of six } his last treatment was in May and in June received a report and no signs of cancer. Now they have found a lump on him too. We pray for both both brothers for healing , comfort and strength and pray for the family too.
We continue to pray for our grandaughter. She still remains in Georgia with children living in a motel. Have no idea who is paying for this. We still feel she is not acting responsibly and just living by her emotions. Still afraid that she is getting around with the wrong group of people. Meanwhile we are here and feeling so helpless about all that is going on. She is speaking very little. We are trying to get rid of things in her apartment as we feel this is not fair to her landlord, as he has been very good to her. We miss the grandkids and the two grandchild now found to have the lumps don’t speak to us. We are grateful that we have Christ to help us through but ist is still very difficult.

Received a call from our daughter in Georgia. Asf for prayers for her father in law. They found him on the floor today. Guess he had been on the floor since last night. Think he may have had a stroke. We pray for healing and strength and comfort.
We praise God for a sucessful outreach by our church today. Plans were a large tent was setup. People who came in got free hotdogs, lemonade and chips. Also each family would receive two bags of groceries. All was well received. In talking with the people today. Met a man. He shared that he just found out he has cancer. Appreciate your prayers for him.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Talked with our son in law, in Georgia on his Dad.   Drs. said he had a series of mini strokes.  They were scheduling an MRI to find out more of this last stroke.  Said his Dad was showing a little movement in his arm and leg on the side he had the stroke.  Told him that we are all praying for him.  He appreciates the prayers.
     On Easter received a call from our nephew in PA.  He has lived with his Dad for over 30 years and has helped watch over him.  Recently he found some family pictures belonging to the landlord laying around the property.  He brought these framed pictures inside until he saw the landlord.  When the landlord was over was freaked out on these pictures and accused him of breaking in his house and stealing the photos.  He is a kind and gentle person and loves the Lord and do not believe these accusations.  So the Landlord made him move out of his Dad’s apartment.  He is now in a homeless shelter as he hopes to find an apartment.  He is also scheduled for knee surgery on April 9th.  He is very nervous as has never had a surgery.  We pray that his surgery will go well.
   Spoke to one of my sponsors for several years.  Back in December she had breast cancer and under went treatment.  Currently is doing well.  She asks for prayers that the treatments were all successful.  She asks for prayers for her Mom who is scheduled to see a Dr. next week for kidney and liver problems.

Prayers requested for a friend and her family due to medical conditions.

My son in law, just found out that his best friend of 30 years, was found dead in his apartment in Michigan. He discovered the news on facebook when he came home from work this morning. Another friend had tried to call, but only had his old phone number. Gratefully they were able to speak this morning and the circle of friends are going to gather in May. They had been roommates, had hiked out west, were as close as brothers. He is devastated about the loss, as you might imagine. Please pray for comfort for him and his friends as they mourn the loss of their dear friend.

Prayers & Praises

We ask for prayers for our grandaughter. We took her for an appointment to Drs. today. We put this in God’s hands as Dr plans some test to follow up and see what is going on. We pray for guidance for the Drs. and comfort for her and us, especially when there are no immediate answers.
My wife was coming home from the Drs. from our grandaughter’s while on the arterial ready to make a left turn her car quits. Could not get it started. I was trying to locate her and she could not reach me as my cell phone just died. Within moments a white truck pulled up in front of her the wrong way. a gentleman got out to see if he could help. She said well my vehicle won’t start. Tried to jumpstart but did not have enough power to run. . He said well lets see if we can try again and at least get you off the road to start. Praise God, he got it started and got the vehicle to a safe area off road. The gentleman said he was going to take a quick ride to pick up a battery pack that can get the vehicle to another spot. My wife felt very comfortable with his presence. He then shared that he is a certified Auto Mechanic Instructor at a local school and was on an errand and don’t even know why he was on this road as he normally does not come this way…….. My wife said well if you look at the back of my vehicle you will see a sign ” I believe in Angels ” Well he got the vehicle to the school and in the morning he and the students will check out the situation and should be able to get things going. God is Good.
Well this evening we went to our church for a prayer and praise service. Part way through a member came up to me and asked to see me. Well while in praise service a car rear ended my van. I went out to look and could not believe my eyes. This car moved my park van at least 10 feet. It destroyed his whole front and deployed both front air bags on his car. He was not injured and we are thankful that we we not in the van at the time, as there could have been serious injuries. I often have the great grand kids in the van. If fact about few hrs earlier they were with me in the van in their car seats. . Don’t have any idea where he came as from all windows of vehicle were all frosted over. Have no idea how he saw where he was going. Praised God that no one was injured. I have been in need of a vehcile for quite awhile. It’s 12 years old and over 200,000 miles. Been praying that God will provide what we need and the finances too. This past year has been our most difficult year. I depend on the van to get me to the schools. I am grateful and thankful to God that He helps get me to where I need to go and back home. I must say that things seem dark and cloudy now as we look at how is this going to work  out. I know that we need to trust in him. His word says, And my God, shall supply all of your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil 4:19 Keep us in prayer

This prayer request sounds a little silly, I know God is in control, but I am so tired of being in pain from this surgery, I really need god to heal this and take the pain away I’m not sure how much more I can emotionally handle.

Prayers are requested for a friends mother. Sheis at this time in ICU, the Lord knows her needs. More details at a later date.

As I write, our hearts our heavy. We ask you to keep us in prayer. Our grandaughter and two Children as you know took a trip earlier this monthg to be with her two children in Georgia. To help her make the trip we help make it possible by loaning her money for airfare and lodging. This will be returned from her tax money. She also  knew that this was going to be difficult on us, as we have so much that we are struggling with here. We also told her before she left not to make any major decisions or promises to the children while there. Her counselor had said the same before she left. After three days there, she called to say that when she comes back on Feb 28th , she will be making her plans to go back to Georgia in a month or two. . As she said ” the children need her “. We are sure that they do but until she can get herself helped here { and she has been doing this very well } she is going to mess these children up. All four of these children have been scared by various drama situations. One while here was attending church every Sunday with us and looked forward to going every week.
We just got word indirectly that she is not planning to come back. She is planning to keep the money that she needed to pay us back and get a place, etc. The problem is she is involved with this individual who just got out of jail and is only looking for someone to take care of him. We are lost for words regarding this whole situation. Our main concern is the kids who have no voice and are caught up in this mess. We pray for God’s intervention in this situation. The children here were very stable and she has done remarkable to provide for them a better life than the three years prior in an abusive relationship. We pray that God will give us the strength that we need. Our hearts are cushed . Please pray for all four children.
