The power of prayer...

Welcome Granny. I was thinking this morning about all our prayer lifes. I wonder how prayers may be answered sooner if we just prayed one more time for someone. I think am I close to a answer. But I know I must always pray for others for there may be no one praying for them. God does hear and answer I know. So lets all continue to pray and also to praise God for what he is doing. Thank him as if it has already happened. Have a blessed day...

Dear Lord, Bless all the new friends we have here on-line. We know you hear and answer our prays. Please help us to remember we are never along, Even when we feel like it sometimes, All we have to do is remember You saying,"I will never leave you or forsake you." And sometime You visit us and we are not home. Help us to know you are always there to help us. We love you Lord AMEN

Good morning, Genia. Will certainly be praying for you today, and humming a special song for you in my heart. As a I read your post the words and a melody started flowing in my spirit: This song is for Genia, our sweet Genia, please help her bear ... what she must bear. Lord, let her feel ...your love and comfort, her heavy burdens, Lord, You will share... I just wrote out the tune so I can remember it and sing it to the angels while they watch over you during your procedure. Love and hugs, Granny.0

Jeremiah 29: 11 Has been such a help when I begin to doubt," For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, Thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."
God loves you and so do I!

Happy Thanksgiving ladies! I've been up since before 4.....between the water I drank all night long.......and the bathroom........and the steroids.......I finally just gave up and came downstairs!!!
I go for my Neulasta shot today.......and it doesn't like me. Always makes me feel worse than the chemo ever has. My second tx it sent my white cells to the moon. They were 40,000. I felt so bad.......I may have posted about this but wit chemo brain I can' remember......lolol
Hugs and many blessings on this day of giving thanks. Just remember to look around you if you are feeling down. There are those that are far worse than us!!! ALWAYS! We can always find something to be thankful for.
Love and hugsssssss and hope you all have a wonderul day today!

This song has always been a favorite of mine.........it pretty much says it all!!!
THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR BLESSINGS ON ME
1. The world looks around me as I struggle along
They say I have nothing, but they are so wrong.
In my heart I'm rejoicing, how I wish they could see
Thank You, Lord, for Your blessings on me.CHORUS:
There's a roof up above me, I've a good place to sleep.
There's food on my table, and shoes on my feet.
You gave me Your love, Lord, and a fine family.
Thank you, Lord, for Your blessings on me.2. I know I'm not wealthy and these clothes are not new,
I don't have much money, but Lord, I have You,
And to me You're all that matters tho' the world may not see.
Thank you, Lord, for Your blessings on me.CHORUS:

Good to hear from you, Genia. The prayer hotline is still busy, supporting you ...I especially like the lines in verse 2 of your favorite song: "BUT Lord, I have You, and to me you're all that matters tho' the world may not see"... what goes before BUT may carry a lot of baggage and pain, but that three-letter word, BUT covers up all the gaps and losses. "Tho' the world may not see" I told a loved one recently that she would probably think I was crazy to make this statement and she stated that she did think it strange: The physical pain, procedures, waiting etc., has definitely not been a good thing -- but I said to her that surgery was a beautiful experience. She saw my battle with the physical stuff, but I saw the beauty in the people who took care of me, from helping me dress, keeping me warm, pats on the back: you'll be all right, "I'll be praying," to the surgeon and her staff of young doctors, residents and students, introducing themselves to me, explaining their role in the procedure, listening carefully to my concerns, doing legwork to get information that helped set my mind at ease -- and above all, as I wrote before, standing by respectfully as my daughter and I prayed. The word is that people living in New York City can be cynical and uncaring -- not so .. I thank You, Lord for the beauty that you have placed in us humans all over the world, along with the flaws and short falls that remind us that You are Almighty and we are not fully complete and functional without Your love, mercy, grace, and provision for caring connection with each other. And Lord, I thank You for this beatiful spiritual circle in which You have placed us. Its awesome how all of us are never down at the same time, so that some of us can hold the others up while we catch our breath. And Lord Jesus, I thank you because I know you heard me calling you when the pain was so intense that my blood pressure set off alarms on the monitors and You took over control of the situation. Please forgive me, Lord, for giving you such a hard time, with doubts and bad memories, BUT thank you Lord for giving me wise counselors to help me get back on track, moving closer to Your will for the best years -- the rest of my life ... With love and gratitude ,,,,,,,,Amen.

I am most grateful, thankful and in awe of all those that have come into my life to help, in so many different ways. I know that they were the answers to prayers, God's presence in my life. I know most of these people will never know how much a gentle touch, a word, a small thing changed my day, gave me a feeling of peace, calm, hope. To all those people I offer up a prayer of thanksgiving with love.
May God's prescence and healing be felt by all today.

Footprints- I have been struggling with Thanksgiving and November this year. Two yrs ago (11/06) I was dxed with bc which a few weeks later was staged at 4; last yr (11/07) my beloved father died. I was so happy that we got to this thanksgiving with no major, traumatic events and I have been down. Instead of being @Mom's with my husband, college son and his girl friend, my brother and lovely fiance, my daughter and I are home- she w/diahrea, vomiting and low fever, and I am feeling like that is not far behind. As I have been pondering (a favorite hobby (?) of mine lately) I think that I have it wrong. I am so thankful for having 48 years with my Dad, wonderful memories, lessons and skills learned, a love of holidays and family; although I have abc I also have been given much in excellant care, renewed and strengthened bonds within the family, many to help along the way etc. I suppose that is what I am thankful for this yr.
Footprints-don't be strong today- let yourself be wrapped in love and memories of loved ones past and those still here. Be filled and strengthened by this dear friend. Know you are never alone or apart from those you love. If the spirit moves you- find ways to be with the lonely or sick on other days of the year, regular, ordinary days that everyone forgets.
God's warm and healing presence to all in need tonight.

The light of God surrounds me,
The love of God enfolds me.
The power of God protects me,
The presence of God watches over me.
Whatever I am, God is, and all is well.

Hi all...
I'm doin ok today.....just tired and little achy. The Dr. changed my anti-nausea med and it is working so much better. This evening is when the shot will kick in and make me achy. Then if the pattern holds I will be out of commission all weekend and feeling better by Monday. I'm hoping that doesn't happen this time......but it has the last 3 treatments.
Thank you for your many prayers......I appreciate them more than I can tell you all.
I pray for all of you.......that whatever is in your life that is worriesome or bothersome.......God would be there to be your shining light and help you through it!!!
Hugs and blessings to all........love you my sisters in Christ

Father in heaven, help us to have hope by surrounding us with hopeful people. Help us not to receive bad news ,but rather as one piece of information afloat on a river of facts flowing into a hopeful future. Heal us, We pray, not for our sake or anyone else's,but for Your sake. And ground our hope in the reality of Your profound and enduring love for us and the desire for our well being. AMEN

"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24-26 NIV). With the start of the Advent season in one hour, I will be going on a special consecration for spiritual renewal and refocus on God's new plans for my life. Am beginning to understand better how God wants to work through me during this present crisis-turned-into-a blessing. Have some serious decisions to work through. To God be the glory, for the things He has done ... Will check in occasionally to unite with you in prayer. Love, Granny.

The Shepherds Pslam
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul; He leadth me in the path
of rightousness for His name sake. Yea though
I walk threw the valley of the shadow of death I
will fear no evil: For Thou art with me; Thy rod and
Thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table
before me in the presence of my enemies: Thou
anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over,
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house
of the Lord forever. PSALMS 23

Thanks for the prayer, Genia!
I report to hospital at 5AM tomorrow....
It looks like the Phase I procedure will be less involved and Phase II will be the DIEP/GAP parts, so my recovery may not be as long NOW, (but will be long LATER). I am *just* having the bi-lat Mx's and immed implants with alloderm for now.
I am counting on God's protective bubble, as always!!!
Love, Spring...

Spring.......let us know when you can how you are feeling sweetie!!! I will be worried......
I have another prayer request for a sister on here. She is having really bad bone pain and had to have a PET scan done today. Her name is Robin......and could you all remember her in your prayers that everything will ok and it won't be anything more than the medication causing the pain!
Thanks.....and hugs to all
