You people prayed me out of a bad spot once. I need your help again.
Sunday night my mother-in-law, who is an absolute saint, had a blood clot on the brain aboard a cruise ship leaving Newark. The Coast Guard (bless them!) got her to a hospital in NYC. She had brain surgery late last night. She is still in a coma and cannot breathe on her own. She is only 67 and she has 5 daughters, 4 son-in-laws, a husband and a lot of grandchildren who love her dearly. Please pray that she comes back to us.
Further, I just received a phone call 1/2 hour ago from #2 son telling me that #1 son was injured badly in a car accident early this morning. He has a badly broken femur, broken ankle and a severe concussion. They are waiting for him to stabilize so they can try to repair the femur with a rod and pins and set the ankle. He is the devoted father of two young boys, my grandsons, who love their daddy dearly. They tell me it will be many months before he can walk or work again. He manages a Dominos and was delivering a pizza while short-handed. Please pray that he will heal quickly and completely.
Two candles are lighted for you at St. Thomas the Apostle in Bloomfield, NJ.
My younger daughter suffered similar injuries in an accident 13 months ago. The surgeons performed a miracle to save her leg, so I have some idea what you're going through and I can make my prayers for you pretty specific.
Prayers for speedy health to your family.
Prayers.
May G-d heal her and comfort your family!!!
Prayers your way, Glenn, and also for your M-i-L and son. God be with you all!
Double prayers sent! Please keep us informed about both of their progress!
I'll pray for you're Mom and son now.
I have a flight to Atlanta at 8:25 PM to be with my son. I am so sad to have to make this choice.
It is in times like these we learn the only thing we can trust is that God loves us and wants to be our God.
He promised us, that if we want Him to lead us, we need to turn to Him for all things.
Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Many prayers to your family...May He place His healing hands upon those that are in need.
