Prayer for a friend's dad...

Please be in prayer for Tracy's dad, a dear blogging friend of mine. Below is her prayer request...

Could you take a moment to lift a prayer for my Dad? He's a carpenter and while working yesterday, fell from a scaffold onto the homeowner's driveway. He broke his heels…one in two places, the other is shattered. Both will require surgery. He was admitted to a local hospital where they now have his pain under control, but he has major swelling. Apparently, they cannot operate until it's gone down somewhat. (They're saying it could be 5 days before that happens.) We've been told recovery from the surgery will be rather lengthy.

There are lots of questions and concerns looming ahead (Dad is self-employed, won't be able to drive or work for quite some time, Mom doesn't drive and isn't in the best of health, Dad already tends toward depression, etc.) but we know and believe God is in control. This is all part of His plan. There is truly a measure of comfort in that! We are also grateful his injuries are not more severe...he could have broken his legs, his back, his neck or even worse.

We are of course bringing his case to the Great Physician and trusting Him for the best possible outcome. I would be most grateful if you would, too. Thank you.


You can also visit Tracy at her blog, My Cup Runneth Over, to leave her words of encouragement and to let her know that you are praying with and for them. Thanks so for joining me in prayer...

Prayer Requests from a friend

These prayer requests are from a friend of mine at church... please join us in lifting these people up to our Lord and Savior... thanks so much!

Louise-my college roommate's mother who is having a brain tumor removed on Tuesday. As you can imagine the family is very anxious and scared and I just pray for peace and protection and that the doctors do everything they can to get it removed.


My best friend Tracey who lives in Virginia has had several kidney stones removed and is now finally having to have a defective kidney removed on Monday and so she'll have to live the rest of her life with one kidney. She has twin boys under the age of 2 that she will not be able to hold for a while. Please pray for her whole family.

My friend Amy has been diagnosed with B Cell Lymphoma- it is a Stage 4 but apparently that's not a terrible thing with this kind of cancer. She is "only" needing 4 chemo treatments.

My grandmother is in the hospital and has been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) she was misdiagnosed with para-lateral sclerosis when in fact it is ALS. She cannot feel some parts of her body and she is 79 years old. Please pray for my "Betty grandma"

Lee's grandfather (who is 95) just had surgery on his hand to help with carpal tunnel. He is recovering nicely.

Thanks for joining us in prayer...

Another Update on Uncle JW

Thanks so much to all who have prayed for my uncle! He had his surgery this morning...

They had to do a triple bypass instead of a double bypass, and he had a fourth artery that was 45% blocked, but they were not able to address it due to its location...

He came through the surgery fine, and the doctors say he should be back to his normal routine in 3 weeks! That just amazes me!

Please continue to pray for his recovery and his continued care, thanks so much!

Update on my uncle...

Thanks for those of you who are praying for my uncle JW...

He is scheduled to have a double bypass tomorrow morning, April 13th. He is the 1st surgery scheduled.

He has had no pain since 8 this morning, but the doctors still feel he needs this surgery.

Please pray for the surgeons and nurses and all those taking part in his care...

Pray for his wife and their 3 daughters and grand-daughters...

I will update tomorrow when I hear from them, thanks so much for all the prayers!
