    Default Prayers Needed

    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.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

    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.

    Psalm 23

    1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
    2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
    3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
    4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
    5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
    6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

    I lost my dad two years ago and while I think about him every day, now my thoughts are of his life and not his death. The saddness will pass with time and the shining moments you had with him will be forever in your memory. Hang in there and God bless you.
    There is no wrong way to do the right thing.

    Thank you, I tried to rep, but spreading thing, ya know. I've not a clue to '59 thing.

    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!
