I just wanted to let you, and all the wonderful people on this forum that my mother considered her friends, Kattracks, passed away yesterday afternoon. She died peacfully, with her family at her bedside. If you knew my mother, you knew how concerned she was with the welfare of others. At one point in the afternoon, we were all gathered at her bed, reminiscing about her,the good times, and all the good things she had done for others. It was as if she had waited for this moment, when she knew that her loved ones were going to be alright, that she was able to let go, and pass into the care of God. To all that knew her, be rest assured that she is waching over you from Heaven. That is just the way my mother was. She always put the welfare of others ahead of her own.
Everytime my brother, father, or I would leave the house, my mother’s last words to us was “Be Careful”. I asked her one day why she always said this to us. She explained to me that in that one phrase was wrapped up all the prayers, concerns, and love that she had for us, but to explain it all to us as we walked out the door would take too long, so she would just say “Be careful”. I’m glad I asked her what she meant, because from that day on, and everytime she said it since then, I understood who, and what, my mother was.
Thank you all for your prayers and support for her.

Original thread:
Kattracks has asked me to begin a prayer thread for her, the hardest thing I have ever been asked to do.
She has had a very frightening finding on a medical exam that is not confirmed and may be a false alarm, but which requires all of us to uplift her to Almighty God asking for His mercy to spare her life or to give her and us the strength and faith to walk the path He has chosen for her.
More information than that I am not at liberty to disclose.
Please ping everyone you know who can pray for kattracks, who was long a moderator on FR and now is the Fairy Godmother of the Merry Band of Patriots.
Testimony bump!

Amen to your lovely song to God, mj.
Prayers lifted up for Kattracks from Arizona!
And it came to pass also on another sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand. Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, stretch forth thy hand. And he did so; and his hand was restored whole as the other.
And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
Luke 6: 6-13

...please heal her Fear"
AMEN

It is a beautiful day here in California's Central Valley. Sunshine and blue skies and 71 degrees.
The paper white narcissus are starting to bloom.
The purple salvia is blooming.
The leaves of the crepe myrtle tree are turning rust colored getting ready to drop for winter hibernation.
The shamrocks are blooming, little white and pink trumpets low to the ground.
The ginko has only a few of its many leaves edged with gold, hinting of the day when the master alchemist will turn it all to gold for our special delight.
Fall is a time of wonder. The mysteries of the cycles of life from the sleep of death begin. And we are blessed to enjoy this day which the Lord has made.
Hi patriciaruth(((Hugs)))I have been praying for KATTRACKS since this was posted.Please let them know.
Kat, I'm praying mightily that it's a false alarm and that good news comes quicker than you expected. We need you to again stand on the streets of NYC with us when Hillary declares her Presidential intentions.
Thanks for the ping Howlin.
