Cysters, please pray for these folks if you will. I went to visit my nana for the second time this week, and she is not doing well, failing fast. (91). Her upper arm is as big as my wrist. It was the very first time it hit hard that she is not going to be w/us much longer, simply b/c she is failing fast, she cries everytime I visit b/c she has so much love and is having a hard time getting old-thinking her family has abandoned her, b/c I'm the only one who will sit with her, take her to run errands when she needs things, and be with her. She tends to be a very 'tough' personality-type person who has abused me in the past, she is old and I have forgiven her. Ed tried to take his life by o/d'ing drank charcoal and is depressed as he has a lot of pain inside, he is doing ok at the moment, but his wife and our friends are concerned. Rick is the hubby of a childhood friend (that Jesus has brought our paths to cross so graciously lately) Rick is very angry b/c my friend's kids (their kids) are handicapped. One has a rare form of autism and MS, the other deaf, and showing signs of the same as her brother. The children's names are Alex and Russell, ages 4 and 6 respectively. Rick wants a divorce and blames all of this on my friend Sharon. She is a very kind human being and has already endured so much, I love her and hate to see divorce after years of being ok, even at first when the kids were diagnosed. Dave and his wife have been long time Christian friends who are so very dear to my heart. Dave was diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurism last week, and is failing. I keep a list of prayers I pray for people, and it's getting longer. I love these folks so very much, I don't like people to suffer. I pray that I can be of service in helping any of these people in their time of need, they are all going through a really rough time. I pray that no weapon formed against them shall prosper and cast down any strongholds that hinder them living the life that the Lord has given them. By Jesus' Stripes they are healed!!
Amen and thank you
I will certainly pray for them...Father God, we just thank you for your goodness and mercy...we thank you that in the midst of our struggles and pain- you are there. Lord, I just interceed for this family Lord, and for the friends and children mentioned, and I pray for complete healing and restoration of this marriage. Your word says to Lean not unto our own understanding but to seek your will in all we do and you will direct our paths...I pray that this man who holds this hurt and anger Lord would cast his hurt upon you Lord, that the strong hold of anger would be broken in your name! I pray that he would seek your will, and that you would direct his paths into much healing Father...I pray that you would strengthen this woman of God, that you would help her in her present time of need as she raises these disabled children. Remind her Lord, remind them Lord that they can do all things through Christ who gives them strength!! I just pray for divine intervention Lord, that you would turn there hearts not against one another but to you Lord, and into forgiveness not anger...I pray a blessing upon cystsbegone for being such a friend to pray for them in their time of need...so many of us say "I'll pray for you" and then forget about it...she has prayed Lord and asked us to pray for these people and so I pray that you would bless her for that Father...In your precious son's name- Amen.

Found out this morning at church that Sharon is going into her little boy's physician to be informed on Russells's life span a week from this Tuesday. Now why do the physicians go and do that? What makes it worse is that her husband will not go with her, so we're trying to be of support to her and go with her--anything she needs. Dave's abdominal aortic aneurism is being 'watched'-they diagnose this type of thing, at certain levels numerically evidentally, he is at a five, which is ok for now, has started Lexapro to deal with it all.
Please continue to pray if you will.
Thank you
Nana, Ed, Barbara, Dave, Rick, Sharon
