Admittedly, I am running a little far behind in keeping up with the numerous people who could use prayers and a kind thought or two. Although it has been 2 weeks ago, I can not forget about the countless lives that were destroyed in Boston. So many innocent people, doing what they loved; doing something good for their bodies- witnesses to horror like no other. A young boy who had just hugged his daddy who had just finished the race, gone in a heart beat. Countless others maimed and scarred emotionally and physically, their lives never to be the same. Can not begin to imagine sights and sounds of that day. May God put his strong loving arms around those that suffered that day, and will continue to suffer.
Also asking for prayers for comfort and strength for the following people:
A wonderful woman who was Drews first teacher has lost her dad. I can most certainly identify with the pain that is associated with the loss of ones father. Just as I did and still do grieve the loss of my Papa; she so grieves for her dad. She listened to her heart, and to the voice of the Holy Spirit and will hopefully find comfort in knowing that she did the right thing as her dad will forever know how dearly she loved him. Grief, as I have learned, is continual and at least initially; relentless. I pray for her continued strong faith, and for the peace that comes from knowing the next time she sees her dad- they will never again be apart.
I ask for prayers for a sister of a high school friend, who has been diagnosed with liver and colon cancer. A young woman of 44 with four children. I can not begin to imagine her fears, her pain, and feelings of being completely overwhelmed. I pray for her comfort physically, emotionally, and spiritually. As well as prayers for her family.
I ask for prayers for a relation of my husbands. A young man getting ready to graduate in the weeks ahead, quickly diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma. I type of cancer that was discovered in a tumor on his leg. To be that young, and waiting for your "real" life to just begin- and then to have to fight a battle against cancer- seems cruel. He has a wonderful family and incredible friends. I pray that his chemotherapy is successful and that he is able to continue on with all of the dreams and hopes of other young men his age.
Prayers for the family of a young boy, whose life was taken too soon by another form of cancer. He fought bravely through all of the side effects, and treatments his little frame could tolerate. A light for others, a happy and kind soul. A boy with the same plans as other boys his age. I believe he was 10 when he was called home. I pray for comfort and peace for his family; and that they continue to feel his angelic presence in their lives. I am sure that sweet boy has bright angel wings and a big smile.
I believe that has me caught up for now. I am going to try to post more often; as I get forgetful after a few weeks and have to look back at my Amazon orders to remember all who are in need of encouragement and love.
If you know of anyone that is need of a special gift- something to provide them with a sense of peace- please let me know. I am always ready and willing to share God's love to those in need. I just do what I can in my little part of the universe, trying to spread light to others- as they may be inspired to pass it on.
