Prayer Thread for Lurking Freeper Texana (TEXOKIE's Sister)
Posted on 03/29/2003 6:48:59 PM PST by TEXOKIE
Thank you for coming by this prayer thread for my sister, Texana. She is a magnificent freeper, although she is in lurking status at this time.
Texana is a high school English teacher. She is NOT politically correct. She does not actually teach the Bible, but she recognizes it as the philosophical and referential basis for most of the American Literature which her juniors are studying.
The first day of class, she makes an announcement that this is her philosophy, and any who do not wish to partake of that particular approach are free to change into another class. But no changes after the first week!
My understanding is that this never happens...the kids stay.
On Monday, March 31st Texana will be undergoing cataract surgery in one of her eyes, she thinks the right eye. It is the kind of cataract which is underneath the lens, not on top of it, like normal people -- you can see she is like Rosie in being different! It's outpatient surgery. The recovery time is supposed to be three days with no complications. She says, "I don't know if I'll be able to see right away or if I'll be wearing a bandage or patch -- I'm hoping for a patch so I can be a Pirate!" (The school mascot is a Pirate.)
Thank you so much for joining me in my prayers for her successful surgery and quick recovery. She states that she really wants to have her eyes work well again because of all the term papers she wants to grade over the next several years!
Our Beloved Heavenly Father,
We place before you my sister Texana who will be having outpatient cataract surgery (we think on her right eye) on Monday, March 31st. Please overshadow her doctors, nurses and any health care professionals who have anything to do with her case.
We call for a routine surgery and no complications. Let Texana and her doctors and nurses all be relaxed and in a very positive, focused, and clear frame of mind approaching and during her surgery. Please help the doctors and nurses follow the sterile protocols perfectly so that there is the minimizing of the risk of infection and complications.
Father, this devoted teacher is in need of functioning eyes to do the grading of those mountains of papers she loves so much. Please intercede and let her eyes heal perfectly at a cellular level in order to accomplish this.
Thank you Father, for hearing our prayers for your servant. Bless her and her family and friends during this challenge. This which we call forth for Texana, we call forth for any and all who are in a similar situation, according to thy will. Amen.

Aging eyes (too many long nights and too much close work) sympathy, empathy, and humble petition that the Father, in the name of the Son, send the Holy Spirit of Comfort to Texana during this time of infirmity.

We're praying for an eagle-eyed teacher.
Bump for a smooth, clean surgery followed by a steady recovery.

Cataract surgery is pretty routine these days, and your sister should be thrilled with her sharper eye sight.
Prayers for a successful procedure and a quick recovery and straight A's for her entire class.
