As most of you know, I moved back to MA from FL back in 2015 to take care of Mom, who subsequently passed away. Now I live in a small mobile home community on the South Shore, and in the year I have been here, have come to know my neighbors.
Our community has had no shortage of tragedy, but recently there have been two that really stand out.
My next door neighbor, Melanie, has been diagnosed with lung cancer, and for the past couple of months has been enduring the most brutal course of chemo and radiation therapy I have ever seen. When I asked FReepers to pray for her, the response was wonderful. I am asking now that you continue in prayer for her and her loved ones.
Just this morning I found out that another neighbor, Mary, is in the hospital with "swelling of the brain" and pneumonia. She will be undergoing surgery and a trip to a rehab facility. She is a single mom with three boys, two of which are developmentally disabled. Family and friends are struggling to keep her home in order while she is in the hospital.
I have only been here a year, but I really care about these folks, all of whom have been very kind to me.
I promised Mary's son that I would bring this to our group of praying FReepers.
Please pray with me for my friends Melanie and Mary.

Thank You.
Adding my prayers for your neighborhood family.
It seems to me that you were placed in that particular neighborhood for a reason, where certain people would soon need your loving care. Many people are hurting all over this planet, due to the degraded nature of the place, so God acts as a behind-the-scenes realtor or rental agent. He’s always active in fixing stuff.
You know what they say in real estate: location location location.
Perhaps if you reflect back on the circumstances of the move, how you ended up at that exact spot, the timing and so forth, you will see that there was weirdness (i.e. obvious Divine Orchestration) involved.
Praying that your neighbors and friends, Mary and Melanie, have God’s help to overcome the difficulties and pain that they are going through now and that they are given strength and courage in order to endure.
Pinging the Prayer Warriors.....
Praying for both Mary and Melanie, and YOU LTOS!
I pray for a healing touch and miracle in the life of both of these women.
For courage and strength to meet the physical challenges they are faced with . And with peace from God our Father to sustain the families and friends.
Praying now.
