I'm leaving now for a local benefit for Jim and his family. (Jim is too weak to attend.) I'd like to ask my fellow FReepers to please pray for this wonderful man and his family, and to help to keep this thread bumped while I'm away. A prayer or two that the benefit will go well would be appreciated, too!

Thank you all in advance. pax

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks for the love that surrounds Jim and his family during this hour of deepest trial. You know their absolute agony and are mindful of their greatest joys ... bring these delights to mind, O God, that even in the midst of heartbreak, You are there to comfort and encourage. Touch his body to diminish his pain ... soothe him with the touch of those who love him ... may their words be the music that sings to his soul, and may he be absolutely fearless as he follows where You would lead.

Merciful Father, we thank You for the length of days that enables Jim and his wife to reflect on three generations of their love. Family and friends know of the many things that he has said and done that blesses their hearts ... we know he is greatly loved, because pax has told us so. We know Jim has served his country as a Marine, because pax has told us so. That makes us, his countrymen, forever in his debt, for we breathe free this day because of Jim. Our words are only a hollow echo of the most beautiful yet to spoken by the Master ~ "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."

May the Beauty and Comfort of Your Presence surround this American family throughout their journey upon this earth. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
