Sad News, Prayer Request for Freeper SoFarRight, BlackbirdSST, Family & Friends
BlackbirdSST ^ | 04/21/2006 | DoughtyOne

Posted on 04/21/2006 6:06:22 PM PDT by DoughtyOne

Folks, I just received some bad news and I wanted to share it with those of you who particiapte on the forum.

FReeper SoFarRight, BlackbirdSST's wife of 27 years was diagnosed with advanced cancer earlier today. BlackbirdSST asked that I place this post on the forum and request prayers for SoFarRight and him. He would also appreciate it if you would include prayers for their family. I would suggest their friends could use them as well.

He was headed back to the hospital to be with her and try to come to grips with what is taking place.

He states that with prayer and grit, they will overcome this.

I'm not the person who generally posts things like this on the forum, but my heartfelt prayers will be lofted on their behalf this evening and beyond.

I'm sure our fellow FReepers SoFarRight and BlackbirdSST would appreciate the expression of your kind thoughts on this thread this evening and over the next few days.

Please keep them in your thoughts.

On behalf of BlackbirdSST, I thank you in advance.

Thanks for the ping,BG.

BlackbirdSST and SoFarRight,

I know this must be a shocking and frightening time. We are adding you to our prayer list, and you will be in our thoughts and prayers for God's blessings.

May God envelop you all in His infinite love and providential care. May you ever be aware of His abiding presence and tender mercies through the blessings you receive. Hope in Him. "...casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7)

God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference,
living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time,
accepting hardships as the path to peace,
taking, as He did, this sinful world,
as it is, not as I would have it,
trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will,
that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next. Amen.

Lord, we come to your feet to ask for your mighty healing power on behalf of SoFarRight. Thank you for your mercies and your steadfast love. Be a comforting presence for BlackbirdSST as he comes to grips with the fear and sense of helplessness. Be an abiding strength for both of them. Thank you in Jesus' name. Amen.

You are the most blessed of all people - you have each other to love. You are lifted up on our prayers to the God who created you. He led you to each other, not by mistake or random nature; it is by your strength and by God's grace that you will know the measure of true love, the love of husband and wife...

We pray for your healing. We pray for God's will. But most of all, we thank God that among us still walk the evidence of love stronger than all challenges - and that love is you.

Father, I know you hear us when we pray. Open our eyes that we may see Your Hand, and know Your Love. In Jesus name I pray it. You are God. You can do anything...

May the Lord's loving hands hold and heal you.

Next month marks 2 years that my friend with liver cancer, Betty, was told that she had 3 to 6 months to live. She's still up and about, thanks to our merciful Lord and FReeper prayers.
