Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!
Amen, (((Conor)))..
The hole in my heart is the same as yesterday. Yorkie is so heavy on my mind this morning. And I pray that tiapam and Cardi are in Jesus’loving arms.
O my yes..
I hope yorkie knows all the love and prayers going out for her..
Amen
Jesus made it clear to His disciples that He is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). He is the only way to the Father, and our belief and commitment to Him results in love and obedience—and leads to an eternal home in heaven.
Christina, a Bible student in Minsk, Belarus, wrote this testimony: “Jesus died for everyone, even the most desperate sinner. The worst criminal who comes to Him in faith, the Lord will accept.
“For a very long time, Jesus had been knocking at my door. Figuratively speaking, the door to my heart was open. I was a believer. But I kept the safety chain in place. I would not turn my life over to Him.”
Christina knew this was not right, and she felt that God was compelling her to make a change. “I knelt before Him and opened the door as wide as I could.” She took off the chain.
Committed followers of Jesus will do what He commands—without safety chains or back doors. No reserving little corners of our lives all for ourselves. No secret sins.
If, like Christina, you’ve been holding back from surrendering to God, it’s time to unhook that safety chain. Let go of those reservations. Throw open the doors of your life, and experience the joy of obedient discipleship.
Read: John 14:15-24
The place seems empty today. Even though I don't visit vert often any more, it is always comforting to know that all of you are here with your prayers and support for all Freepers. Today it's too quiet. Lord, hear our prayers.
Hello Nan, yes its a really sad day. We must all pray for Yorkie to recover from her physical and mental pain.
Lord, hear our prayers.
Weinie
It was like getting hit with a ton of bricks last night when I read Amy's Post. Prayers continue for yorkie and all who are hurting from this news.
I know you are sad, precious Weinie. And I know Lonestar is sad, too.
Lord, hear our prayers.
You described it perfectly, Dave. I will not feel good again until I hear Yorkie’s voice, which I plan to do. She was such a dear friend to me and all FReepers. The last thing she told me was “Don’t forget...you have my cell phone number.” I’m sure her phone was lost but they can replace it quickly.
I’m so glad your treatment went well yesterday, Dave.
Lord, hear our prayers.
When I got the phone call last night, I was devastated. After I called Yorkie, I called Jim and MamaBear. I really needed someone.
Later as I tried to prepare the thread, I tried to think of some way to say what needed to be said without breaking our hearts. I really hated to let everyone know by seeing it on the prayer thread.
Pam is certainly going to be missed here. She and Cardhu will both be missed at FR. I’m praying that Yorkie will soon be healed enough to come online.
Today is a day of mourning at Amy’s Place.
I am glad you called me, Amy, even though it was such bad news.
I think MEG said it well, “there is a hole in the heart of Amy’s Place.” It will take awhile to heal.
Bad things do happen to good people. I suppose it is not for us to understand God’s will, but for us to have faith......”And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
I wish there was some way of letting Yorkie know how much we love her and how many people are praying for her. Could you convey that to her if you talk to her again? I just hate to think of her there in ICU alone. Is her son with her? Does she have anyone with her?
“Less of self and more of Jesus,
More and more each day like Thee;
Just to live in full surrender
For my Lord who ransomed me. —Wonder
No life is more secure than a life surrendered to God.”

Take this last line to heart ... it is TRUE!
God uses all circumstances and events for His good.
Trust Him.
I plan to call her today .. I asked last night if I could call again and she said yes. I will let her know that she is in the thoughts and prayers of all Freepers and that “there is a hole in the heart of Amy’s Place.”
Both her son and her daughter have been there, I’m not sure whether they are both with her now or not.
Thanks, Amy. :-)
I am wondering if her pups were traveling with her & survived. If they died, I don’t think she will fight very hard to stay with us. Our will to survive is based on often the need others have for us. In times of extreme emotional ans physical pain, this becomes more pronounced
Thanks for the prayer thread Amy. Karen is a fine woman. She was spared and I feel part of the reason is that she will have a story to share that will impact others. The story might be partly the accident/but perhaps expanded.
Bleak day / week/ future here. When there are profound loses at a regular thread, it is hard to rally
ATRW is just about gone since Toby (Gulfcoast6) died last year. I think there is more resilience here & Pam would want friends to continue to share love & life with each other
jaycee, how is your eye today? I have been worried about you. So many concerns weighing heavy today. :-(
My eye pain is gone with the antibiotic ointment. But I’ve decided to sweep my troubles into the corner of my closet because they are so minor to what Yorkie is going through. I appreciate your concern and when I first heard I was going to get these eye injections, I almost was hysterical just thinking of a needle in the eye. I took the first one in October and I get one a month for 6 months. This was the only bad result I’ve had and the doctor told my DIL that my eye was probably scratched (and I know I didn’t scratch it.) I will write you later as to why I’m getting the shots. Thank you for you concern.
I got a few notices from FB about my eye and then when I found out about Yorkie, I can’t get anything on my mind but her and our deceased friends, but especially Yorkie. I plan to be in touch with her before this day is over. If I can speak to her, I will feel a little better. I’m sure they have her on lots of medication, including pain medication and she is probably in shock still. All of our hearts are broken. We get so close to each other on F.R. and especially Amy’s Place. Thanks for your note. ((((HUGS))))
Well, you take care of yourself, jaycee. Yes, I understand that, considering what Yorkie is going through, our little problems seem inconsequential, but they are not and I am concerned about you. No hurry on the freepmail, whenever you get time.
Please tell Yorkie how much we all love her and how very distressed we are over this terrible accident. Tell her that many people are sending healing prayers up on her behalf. Tell her we want her back, healed in body and soul. Tell her she is very important to us.
Thank you, jaycee. Love and hugs to you!
