[Brad’s Gramma]

To my praying friends on Free Republic...I have an FR Friend, Focault's Pendulum, whose Mom is dying. I do NOT have the particulars, nor do I need to know. I was told that she has about 2 to 3 weeks left here on this earth. Please PLEASE join me in prayer...

Father God, we come before you to ask for Your hand on Focault's Mom during her last days on this earth. Lord, please wrap her in Your arms, please hold her as she sleeps, please let her know that You are there for her. I ask for guidance for the medical profession who are caring for her.

Father, please comfort Focault and his family during this time of grief. Please let them remember the MANY happy times they've had with their Mom. Please Lord, let THEM feel your love and peace too.

I thank you for the honor of the friendship FP and I have had over the years...Lord, hold him..hold him tight.

In Your Name,
Amen.

Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that we can gather around the bedside of Focault's beloved mother in her hour of need. We thank You, Merciful Father, that it is You who hold the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:10. Be for her the God of All Comfort in these coming days ... be for her the Inner Source of Strength during her waking and sleeping ... be for her the Hope of Life Everlasting. Bring forth to her family the joy of shared memories, even in this time of grief and sorrow. Let those who minister to her physical needs tend her with goodness and mercy ... let those who minister to her spiritual needs show forth the Love of God ... let Blessed Assurance of Eternal Life through Christ lead her into Your Glorious Presence. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray, Amen ...

I want to thank all of you.

My mother, all of 84, has finally approached the end of her years. She lies helpless, bedridden, and unsure if herself.

Except for the fact, that there are people such as yourselves, I remain inconsolable.

Thank you. FP

Prayers for you, and this has helped me some since my husband passed last year.

Gone From My Sight

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a spec of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!"

"Gone where?"

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: "Here she comes!"

And that is dying
