Judi lifted up praises for the successful REC (Residents Encounter Christ) 3 day weekend - for the lives that were touched by the Lord, for the testimonies of brokenness given selflessly in order to share HOPE to the Residents, for the tireless efforts of those who served, for the kindness and cooperation provided by the Officers and for the JOY in the hearts as the Residents left us Sunday afternoon.
It was our sister, Lois' birthday and she kept that a secret from us BUT she shared that she and Charlie had a great day together celebrating it. She always praises God when He gives Charlie a good day - free from his chronic migraines.
Gretchen sang praises about her 17 year old grandson, Sam, who took charge and got his 15 year old brother, Reese, to the Emergency Room and took care of him until their Mom arrived. Praise the Lord that he will not have to have surgery on his hand, but will require from PT for healing and recovery.
Jane was blessed to spend time with her 92 year old neighbor, Sylvia. She lives alone but lives next door to her daughter and son-in-law. They were away over night and asked Jane to stay with her. Jane especially enjoys this time with her because Sylvia knew Jane's Mom / Dad and all the kids as they were growing up and she got to hear wonderful memories from Sylvia about her family.
Prayer Requests
Please be in prayer for Linda's brother, Dom. He underwent urgent bypass surgery this week which was successful. On her way to Bible study tonight she learned that his lung had collapsed - he is obviously scared and anxious.
Becky asked for immediate and urgent prayer for precious little Reagen. She is five years old and the granddaughter of her friend, Shirley. She was diagnosed with malignant sarcoma - stage 4. This precious little girl is facing the removal of her leg, a lung and a hysterectomy. This is on all of our hearts and I encourage to pray fast and furiously. In order that a second is not lost . . . Loving Lord Jesus please hear this prayer . . . You are the good Shepherd of the sheep and You are the One who carries the little lambs in Your arms and gently cares for them. Lord, it is so hard to watch a child in distress and feel helpless to aid them - but we pray Lord that You would safely carry precious little Reagan and care for her as only You can. We ask for Your healing power to permeate through her frail little body and return her to radiant health and strength. Relieve all the symptoms of this unpleasant cancer that has invaded this little body – guard her from danger and may she respond to Your healing touch on her life.
Please lift up Lois' brother, Danny, who had colon cancer a year ago. A spot on his lung has recently been found and determined to be stage 4. Please pray that Lois' strong faith will be felt by Danny and that he accepts the Lord.
Lois' Charlie is seeing a new neurologist on Wednesday. It has taken Charlie a long time to have confidence in the doctors again after a very bad experience. Please pray for some new treatment to relieve Charlie of his chronic migraines.
Judi asks for continued prayers for her friend, Alan, who is battling pancreas, lung and liver cancer.
