Prayers, Please

Just a quick note to let you know I won't be posting for a while ... though I did bring a few scrapping supplies with me!

Dad was hospitalized on Tuesday and Don, Bethany, and I drove to Ohio to be with him and Mom.

Thankfully, he's doing better each day, but isn't quite strong enough yet to return home.

If you'd pray for them both, we'd all appreciate it so much! Thanks, and God bless!

Please Pray for "Pounder"

This afternoon our friends' grandson and son received his bone marrow transplant, thanks to an 18-year-old young man who was his donor! Little one-year-old "Pounder" had to go through a series of chemo treatments these past couple of weeks to prepare his body for this rescue manuever.

If you're reading my blog post, and if you're a Christian prayer warrior, pleeeze, pleeeeeeeeeeze pray that "Pounder" will experience a miraculous healing through all of this, and thank the Lord for the donor, for all the medical team members, and for "Pounder's" family who put their trust in God.

"I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "plans to prosper you ... plans to give you hope and a future..." Jeremiah 29:11

I'll keep you posted on "Pounder" (whose real name is Benjamin)!

Thanks in advance for your prayers.

I Lift These Hands

I lift these hands, dear God, to You, in praise and thanks for all You do.
You light my path through all my days and bless me with Your loving ways.

I lift these hands, dear God, to You, in troubled hours when joys are few.
You bear me up on eagle's wings and see me through each test life brings.

I lift these hands, dear God, to You, please grant me health and healing too.
Then fill my heart with love and caring, precious gifts You've made for sharing. Amen.
