Thank you for your prayers. I didn't place, but I did have a safe trip and I learned a few things so I will do better next time.

Hazer, matthew, cutegirl, lynnspotter, nylecoj - just wanted you all to know that I've been praying.

Have a request for my 18 year old grandson. He moved out from home, went off his meds (severe depression), quit one job and got fired from another, got picked up by the police, blew his money and is apparently now homeless. He could go back home, but doesn't want to follow any "rules." This young man was adopted ten years ago and has struggled a long time. When he's on his meds, he is a delightful kid.

Alas, that sounds like a rock and a hard place situation for both of you...

Hazer

I want to thank you all for your prayers. My father in law passed away this afternoon...free at last from the ravages of cancer. My husband had left for work several hours before I got the call. He will not be home until late tomorrow afternoon. I had to tell him the news while he is on the road, and he is not able to just turn around and come home, so please pray God will send his angels to take the wheel of his truck and guide him safely to his destination and back tomorrow. We have certainly felt God's presence as we've gone through this difficult time. We have been surrounded by friends and family and are so grateful for each one.
I love the way that Max Lucado describes how Christ turned His grave into a changing closet and offered to do the same for us. Dad has left the worn out shell behind and exchanged it immortality.

Thank you sheftali!

I am sorry for your the loss your family is experiencing now Hazer... May you find comfort knowing he is going home & that God is celebrating his return...

Hazer

Thanks matthew . . . while we prepare to bid farewell to the aged and broken body, we celebrate his eternal life with Jesus. Our beloved earthly carpenter gets to meet the Master Carpenter face to face.
He will be welcomed by family and friends who have gone before. There's a party going on up there, I'm sure!

Hazor, your faith and assurance is a powerful testimony.
you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers... that you would be filled with the rest and peace of God as you go through the grieving process.

My Grandmother is in the hospital. She has bronchitis and high blood pressure. The doctors aren't completely sure whats wrong, but that it is most likely related to her kidney failure.

Hazer

Jocelyn, I lift you and your Grandma up in my prayers. I pray for wisdom for the Drs. who are in charge of her care. I pray for a clear diagnosis so that the treatment will be effective. May God be your comfort and strength! Please give Jocelyn the strength to cope with all the demands she has in her life as well as being there for her Grandmother.
Take care Jocelyn!

Hazer

Just a note to say thank you for your prayers as we said good bye to Dad.
God has answered many prayers. He truly cares for us in all circumstances.
We had a beautiful memorial service for Dad. God surrounded us with friends and family who shared warm memories of Dad and who grieved with us. We found strength and comfort as we comforted his friends and told them how much we appreciated them.
Some in our family have become kinder and better people through this experience, while some will struggle to allow themselves to go through the grieving process.
My husband was a pillar of strength for his family...I'm so proud of him!
I'll take a break here because it's late and I'm exhausted...
Talk to you tomorrow!
