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.
Prayers for her, for them both, and for the family.
May God's blessings and comfort be with them during this time.
The power of prayer is offered...
Prayers for you and your wife and your whole family!!
Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord."
My poor prayers offered for healing and for grace and strength to all. Never forget that our God is a good God and He loves His creation.
We cry out to You on behalf of Your child who has been attacked by disease. We commit this precious woman to You, knowing that You are the God Who heals and Who loves to bless His children. Father, we pray for the complete removal of the cancer from her body, and for her total restoration, for we acknowledge that nothing is too difficult for You. Be with her loving husband and give him an understanding heart as he supports her throughout this trial. Grant them both Your wonderful peace and give them the courage for each new day. We confess that You will supply their every need. Blessed are You, our God! In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
May God be watching over both of you.
I am so sorry to hear this. These FRiends will be in my prayers tonight!
((( hugs))) and prayers for this family.
Prayers for both of you and your family and friends. Prayer is getting me through a very difficult time right now and I know it will you too.
Hang in there - FR is with you!
My prayers are going out.
I appeciate each and every one of you coming to this thread to offer support. It's great to know that none of us are alone when it comes to our darkest hours. God in heaven cares, and so do our fellow men and women. Too cool...
I must go out now, but I'll come back and read all the great expressions of support. Thanks.
Praying.
As you face this crisis, know that many are lifting you up to the Great Physician, asking Him for healing, for strength and courage for the days ahead, and for the peace that passes understanding. May you feel the loving arms of the Lord holding you close in His embrace!
Prayers offered.
Prayers UP!
Prayers for peace, healing and courage on the way.
