Dear Heavenly Father,
You said that when two or more are gathered in Your name, there You are also. We come together as friends and family of Jim to ask that You place Your hand of protection upon Jim during his surgery today. Lord, bless the hands, minds, and souls of the surgical team. Let their hands be Your hands. Let their decisions be Your decisions. We lift him up to You and ask that You carry him through surgery and return him to us happy, healthy, and whole.
We also ask that Your Holy Spirit provide an overwhelming sense of peace for Jim, Sheila, Chris, and John. Comfort them as they wait for good news from the surgical team. Bless and keep each of them today.
Your Holy Word says that in Christ all things are possible. We ask these things in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ and thank you for answered prayers.
Your humble servants, Amen
Prayer by Buckeye Texan
Continued prayers for your surgery and that all will go well.
Good morning, Jim. Glad you got some good news out of all of this.
THAT is some good news right there. The board is jumping pretty good today as it (gasp) seems that spines are growing in DC.
Praise God and God bless you, dearest Jim.
I am so happy now, but Walt told me you didn’t have anything near or related to a heart attack!
He didn’t mind them being over cautious, but rly. Gosh, I hope they didn’t nearly scare you into one.
I love you, too!!!
Holy cow. I didn’t know that was even a possibility. Thank God nothing like that happened. Sometimes I am so dense.
Bump. :D
We will continue praying for your strength to increase, that peace will reign in your heart, and that all will unfold in its perfect time and way for your maximum blessing. Also, comfort, peace, and strength for your family.
You have a heart??
I thought you were a Republican!
:)
LOL
So glad to hear such good news!
My prayers are with you.
My world has been turned upside down these last few months. We are taking care of my DH’s mother. She has Dementia, later stages. So though I haven’t spent much time posting, I am reading and praying.
GOD BLESS YOU and keep you safe.
My prayers may be selfish But GOD is in control and knows all that you do.
I will be watching for updates.
Indeed, caww! ‘Amen’ to your thoughtful prayer for Sheila. This is a stressful time for the entire Robinson family. I cannot say it any better than you did, so I shall just say “Amen”.
We love you also! Prayers continue ...
I’m sorry Jim must wait ...Hope he can get pain relief while he waits.
Prayers going up.
Best to you, Jim. I’d hold out for the head surgeon myself, although Bud from the motor pool would have been happy to give it a shot... ;-)
hahahahaha!
Continued prayers for Mr.Robinson and family.
God bless you and Jim and everyone praying for him.
Good news Jim, thanks for the update.
Sweetest, thoughtful you, caww,
I must copy your prayer so beautiful Sheila might read it. I hope and pray she will:
Let’s pray for Jim’s wife...
Lord Jesus,
We come before you with joy that you do all things well and there are no delays in your plans for us, but that all things work for the good of those who you love and call....and this place Jim and his wife are now was too a part of your plan.... We are grateful you knew and have met them along the way.
Still we are human and with that comes some weaker moments when our trust and faith seems to quiver under what you allow us to carry....this surely has to be a time of uncertainty for Jim and his wife but at this moment we bring before you Jim’s beloved wife.
Lord give her all she needs within herself to endure and be a strong arm for Jim as they wait this out....help her to lean fully on your arm when she might feel afraid or unsure....give her your strength when hers might falter and your great assurances when she might doubt....and while Jim is away for surgery be her husbandman ... take care with her mind and heart that she might not feel alone but have a real sense of your peace and presence....and that all is secure in you.
And now we thank you ahead of the answers to come...knowing that they both are fully in your care over these hours, days and weeks ahead......May Jesus’ name be high and lifted up throughout this time and with that we pray and in His name...Amen.

Amen!
(I might add, Sheila is a fabulous girl. She and Jim are perfect together and for each other. I’ve been praying for her, right along with Jim, but your prayer is beautiful. Thanks you so much! God bless you, too.)
ROTFL.
Good Morning, Mama_Bear!
I hope “your yesterday” was Happy as it could possibly be under these circumstances.
