Hi FRiends,
Just got off the phone with my hubby, FReeper whistlingpastthegraveyard. His sister's husband Jack, our brother-in-law is in surgery TODAY, RIGHT NOW undergoing a radical neck dissection for his stage 4 squamous cell cancer. We got some signals crossed and thought this was happening in another couple of weeks, but it's today, and apparently it's an "all day thing." He has already undergone radiation and chemo for the cancer, and is still fighting. I spoke with him this past weekend (at his son's football game!) and told him how proud we are that he is fighting still.
Please consider him in your prayers today.
Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Praying for you all.
Heavenly Father, Mighty Warrior King, Awesome God, to You we give all thanksgiving and praise. There is no other God like You. You ordain the times and seasons for each of us and all You ordain is perfect. Lord God, we are but Your children. As children there is so much You do which is beyond our understanding. You look at everything in light of eternity; we get stuck in looking at the here, the now as if it were our everything. You are sooo gracious to us in our childlikeness!!! Lord God, we thank you for the gift of time for Jack and his family. We thank you for each and every day. Lord God, in our childlikeness, we desire to keep Jack here with us FOREVER, but in our tears at his difficulties and struggles, we also lay all our desires at the cross and choose to trust in You. Lord God, be this entire family’s comfort in ways they can feel, see and hear. Show them Your presence in this whole day by day, excruciaing process. In Isa. 46:4 You state:
“Even to your old age and gray hairs
I am he, I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”
We claim this promise for this entire family. Oh Lord God, hold each in Your arms of everlasting love. Carry them through this. Make it easy as You lead them one by one home. Be their comfort in a way which nothing else explains. Heavenly Father, we do so adore You. Precious Jesus our hope is in You. HOly Spirit we rely on You for everything. There are no more words, just eyes, minds and hearts lifted up and counting on Your unfailing love. Hold the hands of each of these family members as You have called them forth to walk towards You on the water during this difficult storm. You, oh GOd, will not disappoint. In Jesus’ name, Amen
Prayers for Jack & his family
He is being prayed for, and his family as well.
May the Lord bring Peace and Happiness to the family...Heal Jack of all his medical issues, This we ask in Jesus’ precious name.
