Prayer Request Thread

[lwood]

Never are you guys not mentioned in my daily prayers, hoping this finds you all well.

[TerriL]

I just returned from visiting my Mamaw in the hospital. She told me if she isn't going to get well she is ready to go..She is weak, and tired of being in the hospital. Her issues are with diverticulitis..which is very painful.

I would love if you all could add my mamaw to your prayer list. Her name is Eloyce, and she is truly an angel on EARTH. If God is ready for her, I can let her go, and I want God's will to be done..but OHHH...my heart hurts thinking about it.

Thanks and GOD BLESS!!!
Terri

P.S.
How do non-Christians face life daily? Challenges like this would be TOO MUCH to bear, if I didn't know GOd is holding Mamaw in the palm of his hand.

[Scarlett O'Hara]

Sendin one, Terri

[proud MS-ian]

It is a comfort to know that God loves "mamaw" too...isn't it Terri?

You can count on it sweetie!
God bless!

[Maggie-Doodle]

Terri, prayers have been sent for both you and mamaw. Keep trusting in the Lord, he knows what is best and he will see you through whatever comes up.

I know everyone has the right to believe or not...for me there is no question about "believing!" ONLY GOD could have gotten me and my family through some of the stuff we have been through in the last few years....I thank God everyday for walking with me and keeping me strong. I know I couldn't do the things I do without him.

[Hermione]

Hang in there, Terri; we're never ready to let them go even when it's time and they want to. God bless.

[Baloo]

Just stopping in to let ya'll know that you are all in my prayers... along with prayers being sent to the tornado, earthquake and cyclone vicitms and as always, our police officers, firemen, military personnel and other emergency responders.... May the Lord bless and comfort all of those in need and bless and watch over all of our peacemakers...

[TerriL]

You are all in my thoughts and prayers today. I'm glad God understands when I say "My Hattiesburgians." He DOES know ALLLL!

[OLDLADY]

Thoughts and prayers for you and your family, Terril........and all others as Baloo has mentioned.....

[Elle May]

May God bless you during this difficult time. Prayers are with you and your family Terril.

[TerriL]

Great news about my Mamaw:
She is coming home tomorrow. She will still have the need of a home health nurse, but the best part is she will be HOME..in the company of all of us and her BELOVED dog..Snoopy:)

FYI: I have felt such a warm , comforting feeling knowing that all of you have Mamaw in your prayers..I am blessed.

Before I went to sleep last night I prayed for my new friends here, and for God's safe keeping for all of you...and your loved ones, also.

[Scarlett O'Hara]

Say a little prayer for my Bonnie Blue #1.............she and her boyfriend are leaving about 4:00 in the morning for Tampa (yep, in all this weather)..........they're going to see the Yankees play.

[nooskye]

Hi everyone! I've got some really *good* news!! But before I say ;) if y'all would ... please keep our little family in your thoughts and prayers this morning, especially the hubby & the big girl, they are the two who will need the most strength and courage to get through what they face.

The hubby will be in meetings with the bossman today for the attempts to hammer out details that could possibly bring us back home!!! :clap: :clap: *If* it works out and we can get moved back to the Hattiesburg Auction, we'll be home just in time to register the girls for school!! YaY!!!! ooo ... I hope, I hope, I hope!!! hahaha ... I feel like I'm going to burst til I get to talk to him!!!

And ... the big girl will be leaving shortly for her trip to Ohio. :cry: She will be going to my sister's to be tested out of her homeschool status so she can go back to Public. :ohnoes: She'll be there until July 30th ... perfectly falling in line with the possible move, btw ... the thing that really kind of sucks is that this is the first year that he gets a week from corporate America for a vacation and we're going to (hopefully) spend it moving :laugh: LoL! Ain't that about right!?!?! :laugh: The party on the 1st of August is SO going to be well deserved and so long over due!! oooo ... Happy Birthday to ME!!! :-D :smt023 :laugh: :-D :kekeke:

Please help me pray that this is what He wants our path to be :smt001 Although we haven't been gone all that long, it seems like decades when your family is on it's own ... "homesick" doesn't come close to describing how lost & isolated we feel up here away from everyone :( It'll be nice to be back home and rooted again. Here's hoping ... I'm off to check out the housing market :-D

[proud MS-ian]

I hope with you!!! Prayers going up!!!!

[Maggie-Doodle]

Prayers going up nooskye. I KNOW how misrable it can be to be living away from home...especially if the place you are living is vastly different from where you were brought up. Good luck to you all...we will be glad you are back too.

[XC9]

Prayers for y'all. We want to party with you when you come back though. Time to celebrate-a celebration welcome home party.

[proud MS-ian]

Prayers for BB and Amanda!!!! I know it's on another thread...but just in case!

[Maggie-Doodle]

I ask that each of your to PLEASE send prayers up for my "special neighbor." She has been sick for several days. I tried calling her early this morning and could not get her to answer. Upon checking I saw her vehicle was at home..I thought maybe she was in the shower of something.

When I left home about 11 to go to a meeting downtown, her drapes were still drawn and still no answer. FINALLY, I found out that her daughter called her very early this morning and Ms. Neighbor was incoherent and could not talk very well so the daughter came got her. After spending the day in the hospital it was found she was having a reaction to meds one doctor gave her (antibotics). Anyway she seems to be better but has gone to stay a couple of days with her daughter. This lady is like a 2nd mom to me...I would appreciate all the prayers you can send her way...I need her back home..it is not the same around here without her around!

[proud MS-ian]

Thanks for letting us know Maggie...of course we will pray...
what a wonderful neighbor you are!!!! I'm glad you cared enough to check!
Thank you!

PLEASE continue to pray for my elderly neighbhor...although she is some better she if far from being back to normal with her health issues. They have run all kinds of test and so far nothing comes back out of sorts. Her daughter had to take her back a few days ago and they ran a test for West Nile...should get the results back from that tomorrow. She is such a sweetheart, I hate to see her so sick. I am sure the prayers are helping just please keep them going.

She came back home today...said she just couldn't rest at her daughters. I am checking on her every couple of hours or so and since I am cooking a big supper I will take her a big plate. Thanks so much for the prayers that have already gone up.....

[countrygirl]

I just heard through the grapevine that a child that was in my grandson's class (just finished third grade here in the area) was involved in a wreck. The family was moving to another area. I was told the child's younger sister did not make it and that he and his mom were in the hospital. I hope this isn't true, but just the same be in prayer for this family.

[betsy]

Oh dear. That is terrible country girl. I do hope it is not as bad as you were told, but they are all in my prayers.

Thanks. I was hoping it wasn't true...but I know folks don't say stuff like that unless they are pretty sure.

[countrygirl]

Another request....my son in law lost his mother after a long, long battle with breast cancer this weekend. Her first encounter with it was before they married fifteen years ago. I know this is a case where sometimes it is easier to let them go, but you do only have one Mother. Please be in prayer for them.

[proud MS-ian]

Prayers going up ((((Countrygirl)))) ...HE is the only one we can turn to at times like this...

ya'll please keep the McGill family in your prayers. I attended River of Life Church with this family for a couple of years, and they were moving to Dallas this week they had an unfortuntae accident in which their 13-year-old daughter Marissa was killed.

[noway]

I know I shouldn't post anything but I'm anyway. FE has been sick the last few days and I havent been able to check on him. He might be in the hospital. I really don't know much more.

[proud MS-ian]

Noway....please let us know about FE as soon as you can....thanks!!!!!

[LipsofanAngel]

Please pray for my family as we will likely be facing the loss of a loved one in the near future.

And if you could send up one for me... I know my faith is strong, but I also know I have a tendency to become bitter during difficult times.

[proud MS-ian]

(((( Lips ))))) prayers going up!!! The circle of life ....we are all in it!!!!

[XC9]

I know I shouldn't post anything but I'm anyway. FE has been sick the last few days and I havent been able to check on him. He might be in the hospital. I really don't know much more. Noway, this is why we are here on this thread. Everyone deserves prayers wether they are religious or not. I do not know who fe is but all you have to do is ask for prayers because we are here JUST for this.

And if you could send up one for me... I know my faith is strong, but I also know I have a tendency to become bitter during difficult times. Lips, it is okay to be bitter for a while. You know that is a part of the grieving process. Yes, we all question how strong our faith actually is at times and there is nothing wrong with that either-even Mother Theresa questioned her faith at times-we are only human and that is a part of having a working brain-always questioning things. Prayers for you and your family please let me know if I can be of any assistance at any time.

[dreamhippy]

Prayers sent.

[proud MS-ian]

Any word on FE??? Just got home...was hoping for an update! Thanks

[proud MS-ian]

Just a reminder...my baby grandson is having tubes put in ...in the morning...early.
Please pray for him...(and me and his momma) we don't want to hurt those people if they make him cry! I"m sure that he'll be fine...but prayers ALWAYS help!
Thanks ya'll!

[nooskye]

Prayers being said for everyone ... I pray for God to be with you in your time of need to see you through.

Thank you again for your faith! God bless...

[SQUIRL]

[jmb]

Prayers going out for all.

FE, get well soon! We miss you! :)

[Fire Extinguisher]

Thanks folks. Just got home today, and had really no way of letting folks know what was going on. Noway knew a little I am sure, but they are stupid laws about such things..... I had no way of letting folks know what was going on... I did think once about calling him and telling him it was ok to post.

I did not have a heart attack... just a little irrregular beat.... or ventricular flutter... when the ambulance guys got me they said 260 beats per minute.... I am fast! That was Monday. They got the rate requlated, did a bunch of test and found that I have no blockage, no problems but just the electrical out of wack, On Thursday they finally decided that there were no clots in my heart(that would be there becasue the atriums where not beating just fluttering and allowing blood to pool...) they shocked me back to normal....

Any way I am fine, thanks for the prayers.

I've got the same thing so I kinda know what's going on with ya. A lot of folks do. Apparently it's pretty common in folks over 40. Unregulated mine would get up to about 180 for a second of two occasionally.

[proud MS-ian]

Ditto for me too FE...about the flutter thingy and the fact you're home and ok...

Now....TAKE BETTER CARE OF YOURSELF AND STOP SMOKING!!!!!

*climbing off soapbox - but meaning every word!*

[Maggie-Doodle]

F.E. Glad to see you back posting again. I hope you will take it easy and do what the doc says. We missed you....

[Hermione]

Way to go, FE! I thought you'd already gone to your daughter's wedding -- glad to know you're back. God bless. De colores.
