A dear friend of mine called yesterday and said his mom had to have heart surgery yesterday. a 7 hour ordeal, she was doing okay yesterday, but he just called and they are not sure she is going to make it... they can't stop the bleeding. So he is getting ready to make the 7 hour trip to toledo on christmas eve... Please pray for him and his family. I know if i had my druthers i'd pray from his mom to live and be well, especally this time of year. but this is God's will not mine... This sucks!!!

And mine. We found out yesterday that my 82 year old father may have heart blockage. He gets further testing next week. I can emphathize with your friend's plight.

If I could be so bold, please send some nice thoughts and prayers my way, too...
I just lost my Mom 3 weeks ago, I came back to work yesterday, and today would have been her 67th birthday.
Needless to say, this is a tough Christmas.

I'd like to repeat Angie's sentiments. Rebekah, especially. Just think of how happy your loving mother is as she looks down at you enjoying the holidays. She'll never miss another Christmas!!

Rebekah, I'm so sorry! It has been 23 years since I lost my brother in an accident, and this time of year is STILL tough for me. I am praying for you, and echo Jeremys sentiment, that she is smiling down at you today, and interceding on your behalf. Jeremy, we will pray for your friend also.

Someone that I know had the most terrible thing happen to their family early Christmas morning. Their 18 year old son was killed in a single car accident. I can't imagine anything worse especially on Christmas morning. His parents are strong christians as well as their other children, but this son was the wild one and wasn't a christian and that is an additional burden for his parents. It is frustrating at the same time. He was driving home from a party and was drunk. When are young people going to understand that drinking and driving KILLS.

There is always so much sorrow in the world, yet it always seem sharper still this time of year when we focus on glad tidings and warm gatherings with friends and family.
The thought that keeps me going is to do my best to understand that there is no beginning and no end to life. Life is from G-d, and G-d is eternal, so our lives must be eternal as well. We only have a very limited perception of the entire reality that is Life, and that limited perception is rooted in our belief in our sin from which we cannot seem to part.
My abiding Hope is that we are never truly separated from those we love, but our perception of them is blurred when they depart our physical realm.
My wish for 2004 is for a clearer perception of our true relationship with Life, Love and G-d.

Our family's prayers go out to all. One of the hardest things to do is to think about a loved one after they have left.
It's important to remember that too many hugs are not enough, and that telling a person you love and care about them evokes powerful and positive feelings.
Our prayers for all those affected and that there be physical and emotional recoveries.

Wonderful to see people putting their faith to work, interceding for each other. I am encouraged by all your postings and will lift you all up as well.
I'm curious, now that we're into the new year, how you all are doing. Were there any specific answers to prayer? How was God faithful to you and your need? Testimonies are incredibly powerful.

My friend's mother passed away yesterday, which is so sad but she hung on for as long as she could, her heart just never recovered from the trauma. I jusy pray the family will be able to make it through the next really tough times. She and her husband were in the middle of building their dream house. so many loose ends.
