    O Lord, Were amazed how You know the numbers

    of hairs on our heads. On some days we are frustrated

    and feel like pulling some out, We must keep You

    pretty busy! You know us on the outside, and You

    surely understand us through and through. You

    share our pains when we lack confidence. You weep

    with us when we mourn.  You nudge us and show

    mercy to those who wrong us. You help us find

    peace amid stress. Thank You for meeting our

    needs-- for teaching us to rejoice during trouble

    times. We praise You for peace of heart and minds.

    How awesome, the way You allow us to come into

    Your presence. How good You are to change our

    hearts, Father. When we are unsure, You encourage

    us. When fiery trials come, You go before us. Instead

    of worrying, We will remember the flowers and the

    fields and how You even see when one sparrow falls.

    How grateful we are that we matter more to You then

    these, For we are Your children.  And Lord we thank

    you as You bless; Genia, Spar, Jo, Patoo, Jenn, candie

    seaotter, sue_blue, armywifenmommy, Deborye,ivorymom.

    Mary, Watson, Selya, Makraz, Beth, Andi, Patty

    and anyone else here Lord that is in need of Your

    comforting love. In this we pray. Amen

    Prayer sisters

    update on Andi

    Friday's surgery on her arm was a success.  Each day more of the tubes are removed from her body.  And each day more response from her body.  Movement from being tickled and eyes opened every now and then has started eyeball movement....Thank you God for these little notes to Andi's mom letting her know that You are there working in her precious daughter.  They are looking forward to being sent to the Shephard Center in Atlanta real soon.

    ---------------------------------

    Haiti

    Father God,

    Help the rescue workers to locate the still living.  Thank you for the ones that have already been recovered still alive after all this time.  Comfort the many many children who are scared and alone.  May the people see Your loving hand at work through all the love and care of the world so that they will come to trust You as the One True God of the Universe.

    In Jesus precious Name I pray

    AMEN

    Hi... sorry I've been MIA... I'm back to work again.  Seems I run out of money before I run out of WEEK!

    Glad to hear that Andi is recovering well.... 

    I talked to RoseAnne today.  Her daughter's name is Debra Fiorie.  The drs. are trying to get her breathing on her own.  They put a tube down her throat so she can be taken off the ventilator.  She is doing ok, but just hanging in...   RoseAnne said that the 1st 2 chemo tx really knocked her on her butt... they were VERY STRONG... the drs. said they will be giving her some 'gentler' drugs next time around.  They just wanted to kick start her tx regimen. 

    So....

    Thanks everyone for all the prayers!   I know for a fact that prayer works!  When I was dx'd  with bc, I had several groups praying for me...  and I think that is why I got through ok, things seemed to go pretty smoothly.  It had to be the prayers....

    Father, We hear people say they can't be happy unless

    every circumstance involving them is prefect. Projects

    have to be flawless. Outings or Vacations can't be happy

    unless nothing goes wrong. Only faultless people make

    ideal friends.  We overheard defeating remarks like, " I

    can't be content unless our bills our paid";" I get married";

    "we have children"; "the kids are grown up"; " it rains";

    "it stops raining"; " I can get an education"; "I lose or

    gain weight"; "I get that ideal job"; or "I retire."

    Unless? Until? Thank You Father, for the joy and con-

    tentment You give, for how You change the "until to

    "now." What satisfaction You give me through Your

    assuring presence during struggles, disappointments,

    achievements and failures. Thank You for encouraging

    us to appreciate our life's. You help us to value the rain;

    the pride of hard,bone tiring, not so prefect work; the

    chance to kiss a scraped knee or sit by the bedside of

    a sick child. Thank You for long walks and talks with loved

    ones, often used to filter through uncertainties and hurts.

    We are grateful for imperfect friendships perfected by love,

    forgiveness and acceptance. Thank You You for Your perfect

    love that overcomes imperfections and teaches us true happiness

    starts with"until now."  O Lord we are so grateful for Your love

    and giving us true happiness. Please be with Our dear friends;

    Genia, Jo, Patoo, Rose47, Mary, mmm5, Deborye, Harley44

    Jenn, Spar, Seyla, ivorymom, debbie,Beth, and anyone

    else on this pray line I forgot. Lord be with them and help

    them to know they are very special to You. We love You and

    thank You for this family on line. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

    Amen to the above prayer. Help us Father to be thankful where we are right now and to recognize you in all of our life circumstances. Help us with this day, which for me started at 3:30 this morning because I can't sleep. Sustain us and may we walk in your joy and peace which passes all of our understanding. Thank you for our sisters here that we may join in prayer with them to glorify Your name, which is higher than no other. Amen.

    Praises to God

    A friend went in for a repeat mammogram and it turned out to be OK....

    God, use the hands and feet of the relief workers in Haiti to show the people your love so that they will come to trust you and give their lives to you.  I pray for the safety of all the volunteers and servicemen and women who are helping the people in Haiti.

    Lord, I just want to say THANK YOU, because this morning  I woke up and knew where my children were. Because this morning my home was still standing, because this morning  I am not crying because my husband, my child, my brother or sister needs to be buried out from underneath a pile of concrete, because this morning I was able to drink a glass of water, because this morning I was able to turn on the light, because this morning I was able to take a shower, because this morning I was not planning a funeral, but most of all I thank you this morning because I still have life and a voice to cry  out for the people of Haiti. Lord I cry out to you, the one that makes the impossible, possible, the one that turns darkness in to light, I cry out that you give those mothers strength, that  you give them peace that surpasses all understanding, that  you may open the streets so that help can come, that you may provide doctors, nurses, food, water, and all that they need in a blink of an eye. For all those that have lost family members, give them peace, give them hope, give them courage to continue to go on! Protect the children and shield them with your power. I pray all this in the name of Jesus!!!

    Dear Lord, The most wonderful thing in the world is

    knowing You, Our Lord and our Friend. The Bible says

    a true friend stays nearer than a brother. You are that

    kind a friend to us. Thank You for being with us day and

    night. You enter our hearts to set up housekeeping. You

    tell us the truth,even when we don't want to hear it. You

    patiently counsel us the right ways.. You never cause us

    to stray, Lord, for You do not tempt. You provide zeal for

    our lifes and help us to keep a positive outlook. We discover

    morsels of wisdom from Your Words.  When we are weary,

    You wrap Your arms around us and give us rest.  You nourish

    and restore our souls. When we go through deep waters, You

    wade ahead and hold on to us with Your strong, firm hand.

    Whether we are on  the mountains or in the valleys of our life,

    You listen to our every word and need. You are more than our

    Friend, You are the lover of our souls. Let our souls entwine as

    one, Lord Come what may, help us yield and trust in You. We

    will cling to Your counsel and follow You. At Day's end, We will

    rest securely in Your safekeeping, For You are our treasured

    Friend. Be with and help and comfort; Genia, Jo, Jane, Patoo, Spar,

    armywifenmommy, kbugmom,kmccraw423, ivorymom, seaotter,

    Faith, Saint, sue_blue, Rose47, Linda, debbie, Deborye, Waston,

    Makraz, Harley44, Beth, Jenn, Andi, mmm5, Mary, candie, and any

    others here. Focusing our minds on victory through Jesus Christ our

    Lord. Amen

    I am interrupting the thread with a very special request.

    In this same area (prayers) there's a thread for my dear friend who goes by "Saint."

    She has received some serious news today.

    She is 'processing' just what it means.

    I will read her all the posts tomorrow when we talk.

    (She can no longer read, due sight compromises.)

    Saint is a good Catholic person, been a member of the choir in her parish for decades etc etc.

    Anyone. Anyone at all who is willing to make a post to her, will be a blessing.

    Don't feel the need to say, "You don't know me"

    Just say praying for you sister...........

    Or anything else you can think of that you would want to hear.

    xx00xx00xx00xx00xx

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    She also has a thread unrolling on the Stage IV thread, if you frequent there......

    If you can think of anyone to invite into this love-fest, thru PM or whatever, that would be awesome.

    Strength and courage.

    Strength and courage.

    Strength and courage.
