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.

Prayers being sent to you and your family, Kat.

[livius]

Thank you for the news. Continued prayers for her health and also for her spirits during this week.

[GretchenM]

Continuing to pray for you, kat, especially for peace. He loves you so much.

Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Isaiah 12:2 Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the LORD GOD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.

Psalm 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song I will praise him.

Thank you for the update. I'm praying that God will comfort her and that He will comfort her loved ones as they wait. I ask in the name of Jesus that He would calm fears of the unknown and that He will give them good news after the next test. I pray that she will return to us soon, and be in Divine health, as only He can give, because His Word says, that "above all else, I want you to prosper and be in good health." His Word also says that "by the stripes of Jesus, we are healed." If He is for us, who can be against us? It's a great feeling to know that our Creator wants such wonderful things for us. Praise His Holy Name!

[NRA2BFree]

A great big Amen! Those are wonderful Scriptures!

[pollyannaish]

Somehow I missed this, but just wanted to say that you are in my prayers kattracks.

Thanks for the updates, patricia.

(I think we are all also praying for God to sustain us through this time of uncertainty as well as to lift up kattracks and her family.)



Indeed we are and I take heart that Kat wasn't rushed right in for the test/procedure. Another week of worry but also another week for PRAYER!

[Txsleuth]

God be with her.

[GretchenM]

You know what I love about Psalm 23? Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me.

Sometimes we are called to walk through (not being called to stop there) such a valley, and what a wonderful thing when it is only the shadow of death that we must face. I have found God is so much more real to me, and my understanding of and relationship with Him grows so much larger, during such a time in my journey with God.

I pray these blessed verses for kat, that they would be her food.

[GretchenM]

And a big, hearty AMEN to all you prayed.

[daybreakcoming]

It is good to know that kat can feel the love and prayers that surround her through the cyberspace. Both will continue intensely for her and her loved ones.

[Northern Yankee]
