Prayer Request

My FRiends, I would be very grateful for your prayers in behalf of my Dad whose health has taken a turn for the worse right after Thanksgiving, and even more so in the past few days. Dad is 81, a veteran of World War II in the Pacific Theatre, he served as a munitions expert, Browning Automatic rifleman, and finally as a medical corpsman before being wounded and sent home. He continued to serve our Nation in the Department of the Army his entire working career. He has been the finest Dad I could ask for and my life has been blessed by being his son. I have asked God what I believe my Dad would want me to ask, which is that God's Will be done. My own human desires and needs want to see my Dad restored completely to health and bounce out of his hospital bed, which would honestly require a miracle at this point. Dad is quite frankly suffering from old age, injured hip (did not require surgery), kidney infection, loss of appetite, one moment completely lucid, next moment, not quite so good. My Mom is holding up well all things considered, she and my Dad have been inseperable and happily married 53 years last month, I wish for them many more on this Earth, if that is part of God's Plan. I thank you and as my Dad would say, 'May the Lord be with you'.

Best Regards,

MKJ

Mark, may our Lord give you and your family comfort. I see you're already taking comfort from knowing your dad is in the presence of Jesus. You will be reunited with your precious dad one day.

God bless you.

Thank you for that my FRiend, I appreciate that so much.

My apologies for not updating this thread a bit, I'm happy to report that my Mom is doing remarkably well, she will turn 80 this coming September but she is on the go each and every day, she is staying busy with friends, her garden club, cooking, etc., and I think that as much as she misses Dad (as we all do), she is happy that he is no longer suffering, that he is at peace with the Lord, and that we will indeed all meet again one glorious Day.

I will be hopefully incorporating this thread and everyone's wonderful prayers and support into my FR home page at some point soon, and perhaps a few extra pictures of Dad as well (not too large, don't want to be gobbling up JimRob's bandwidth, ha!).

I am hoping to stay in touch with you all as I'm able, and I hope this finds everyone enjoying the Blessings of the Lord.

Thank you all again, and Good night!

Best,

Mark :)
