I'd like to add my husband to the list. I'd posted a while back under a different screen name asking for advice on how to tell my out-of-state son about his father's illness and upcoming surgery. My son lurks on these boards and I didn't want him "accidently" finding out. Follow-up tests at this point show his prognosis is good which is a relief. His surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning and if everything goes well he should be home by next weekend.
Thanks so much-
ORmom

Thanks Krakatoa! Even though down deep, I know that, I appreciate hearing those thoughts!! Smile
Please continue prayers for baby Lane (General Items forum a while back). He had open heart surgery to replace holes over Memorial Day Weekend and now he is having some complications and has to go back to the hospital.

Also, we just got word that a woman (younger gal in her 40's) from our church has suffered an aneurysm and is not doing well. Her name is Sherry.
Prayers out to baby Lane and Sherry.

Please include my new brother in law of three weeks.
Has been diagnosed with a virus in his brain.
There is a treatment but odds are very long.
Please pray for David W. This is an illness that revealed itself one week before their wedding.
No previous symptoms. Just a ton of bricks falling on newlyweds. Things do not look good for David. Please spread far and wide, he needs us all.
Thank you and God bless us all, you just never know.....
Ladies...may I please put in a prayer request for our our own Futurebackmom (Mary Ann). She recently received some unsettling news from her doctors that she is now battling a form of lung cancer. I KNOW that Mary Ann is a strong woman who has faced a number of health challenges in the not too distant past....but I'm SURE she could use us all on her side as she battles her newest foe. God Bless Mary Ann! Smile Prayers being sent out on your behalf right now!
Mary Ann, I know it's weak, and a RedSox song, but it just struck me.....


Where it began
I can’t begin to knowin’
But then I know it’s growin’ strong (our love and prayers for Mary Ann)

Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who’d have believed you’d come along (to Marv , AJ, & family, and all of us)

Hands, touchin’ hands
Reachin out (to our heavenly father)
Touchin me
Touchin you…(with prayer and healing)

Sweet Mary Ann
Good times never seemed so good (as good as the ones with you)
I’ve been inclined
To believe they never would (but we know better now!)

But now I
Look at the night
And it don’t seem so lonely (‘cause you’re in it)
We fill it up with only two ( or more…..everyone who cares for you)
And when I hurt (‘cause you hurt)
Hurtin’ runs off my shoulders (away from you)
How can you hurt when (we are with you?)

Warm, touchin’ warm (the warmth of your heart)
Reachin out (to you with prayer)
Touchin me (with your thoughtfulness and kindness)
Touchin you (with hope for healing)

Sweet Mary Ann
Good times never seemed so good (with you in our lives)

Thanks so much.


Praise God for His watchful eye and protective arms. Am glad to read that your extended family is safe after the storm. Will also continue to remember them following the miscarriage which is an emotionally painful experience and one which also leaves the 'mom' physically drained with the quick shift in hormones etc. May God bless them all and may they allow themselves to grieve this loss ... it is a tough one than many do not fully understand.
As I read through the forum and come across posts and especially this thread by Mary Ann, I'm reminded that we should all tuck her family into our prayers right now. Also, all those that have lost loved ones and will spend this holiday season feeling an empty space in their lives. May they all have someone to pray for them, hold them, and care about them during their difficult time this season.
I've been thinking about MaryAnn and her family.....

And all of us who have lost family members and special friends this year.....

As I am wrapping presents and lovingly placing them under the tree right now, I am traveling through time--to the magic time of Christmases past, and the joys of my babies and the joys of them as they became children....memories locked between the pages of my mind.....

And all I can think of are those families who have tragically lost a child...or children....I know that many who post here have....and my heart aches for them right now....and for those who have children who are very very ill.......

My Christmas prayer is for all of them. I have tucked them all in my heart.....and pray that they feel God's peace and love.....

A beautiful and meaningful prayer A. While Christmas brings happiness for so many of us, it can also bring great tears for so many. We should all stop and remember those that are not able to feel blessed today.

That was beautifully written. I contend that some of the best writers in America are right here on the hsbbweb

I'd like to ask for prayers for all the players of all sports who are traveling this spring.....there is some wild wacky weather out there and I sure don't want any of them to be caught driving in it.

Actually, I hope and pray that everyone travels safely. And that no one gets hurt.

Great reminder! We all have or know many players who travel several times a week on roads this time of year. May they all do so safely!
