PRAYERS:

There is a lot going on in my family right now and could use a lot of prayer.

*My mom fell last weekend and split her head from ear to ear. She said her back and arm hurt but not her head. She has 27 staples and 5 stitches. My mom has been dealing with arthritis since she was 3 years old. Her pain tolerance is very high. She’s endured a lot in her life so it bothers me to watch all of this happening.

*My brother-in-law is back in the hospital with another blood clot in his leg. The entire length of his leg, front and back. They removed it today but this is the second time in a few weeks.

*My great aunt from Goshen has a type of blood cancer. No cure but there are treatments that will prolong her life. They would argue with me on this but they are not Christian’s. They lost their two biological children to cancer when they were 8 and 15 years of age. Even though they are heavily involved in the mennonite church and Goshen College (professor) they do not believe in the Trinity. They adopted two children years ago and one of them has become a Christian so I’m praying she can talk to my aunt and my aunt becomes a Christian before passing away. They also lost a grandson two months ago in a bad car accident south of Goshen.

*A family member in Arizona is in hospice and is down to hours to live. He is a Christian so that helps. Such a great guy and very respected out in the Phoenix area. Pray for his pain. The morphine is not touching it.

*Shauna continues to heal and make progress but will not be able to return to her job. New chapter is starting for her.

*My sister-in-law is recovering from open heart surgery. She is struggling emotionally with everything but she is starting to comment about praying for people. Not sure where stands on faith so pray she becomes a Christian.

*Im supposed to be leaving tomorrow morning for a much needed long weekend. I’m still planning on going and praying that my BIL heals and comes home and my mom continues to heal.
