Prayers Needed

[Kathianne]

I wanted to let you all know, my dad died last Friday. The services were Tuesday and the funeral yesterday. While his last week was very tough, he kept control until he slipped into a coma.

The services were beautiful, over 400 visitors. For a man 86 years old, no one could imagine the number of his friends that came from FL, AZ, IN, WI, and LA. Seriously, shocking and comforting. He impacted literally hundreds and hundreds of lives.

My brother and I sat down this morning, to start on the thank yous and get the estate in order. After about 1/2 hour, my sister-in-law called to tell my brother that their 24 year old son, due to marry Sept. 22, has a brain tumor. More MRI's and such being done today, please keep him in your prayers.

God moves in mysterious ways, I cannot imagine my father surviving this, even without the cancer. It was also weird that my son missed his train this morning, back to university, due to an error in train times posted, that lasted literally minutes before the correction.

I spoke with my nephew today, the neurosurgeon is very optomistic that it's non-cancerous. That is the good news. The bad news is that it's big and rapidly growing.

Online I've learned they've come a long way in operating, laser is the deal and very successful. Prayers are requested. Thanks to all!

Very sorry to hear that Kathianne.
It was very hard for my parents when my grandparents died.

I wish you and your family the best of luck in these hard times.

I just lost my dad in March, and the very week after, my lifelong bestfriend was diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma. I do not claim to know your pain, but I certainly know of it. You are in my thoughts and my prayers.

I know its a hard time but there is a reason for everything...............

Footprints In The Sand

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,

“You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”

Kathianne,

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Whether a child or a grown adult, I can't imagine losing a parent is ever easy. I hope you can find some solace knowing he lived such a long life. I think he's probably looking proudly down upon you right now knowing he raised such a kind and caring daughter.
