I BELIEVE in the POWER of PRAYER.........

            We never know what each new day will hold for us...............

                                   I am asking for prayers.........serious prayers

These last few days have been filled with sorrow, hurt, and pain.  Not one issue, but three.

First, my Mother was in the hospital for 5 days with severe pain in the abdomen.  I won't go into details at this time, but they are looking at surgery.  She is 80 years young and in very good health overall.  I would like for my friends to pray for complete healing for my Mother in her colon and abdomen area.  Her pain has subsided  some and she is feeling better but she may have a lot facing her.  My God is the HEALER and I accept nothing but that for her!

A couple I know, tragically lost their 15 month old daughter, Grace to drowning in the family swimming pool a few days ago.  They are a beautiful family and love the Lord and are an apitemy of what a family should be.  No words can hardly be spoken on this tragedy.  Please pray for comfort, strength and peace for them.

Also, a dear friend, Jimmy (this is who introduced me to my hubby Ken) underwent surgery yesterday for 5 blockages in his heart. One blockage was the main artery.  Jimmy is only 55.  His wife, Marlene, I have known my whole life.  He still has a lot more facing him and he isn't "out of the woods" yet.  Doctors believe there is heart damage.  Please pray there is NO damage to his heart and he will be good as new!  Complete and divine HEALING is his.....


This was one of my favorite scriptures that I BELIEVED in going through my "C".  We must have FAITH, We must BELIEVE that Gods WORD is the TRUTH!  And his WORD WORKS!!













I know things happen in our lives we can't see coming or help.  But I also know, God gives us these bodies for us to take care of.  Our body is our temple.......he gives us choices to do the right thing......
                     I pray if you are struggling with something or have never known the Lord as your personal Savior,  He is here for you!!  Give him your worries, pain, hurt......Give him your HEART!
All you have to do is ask......ask him with a meaningful heart to help you,  or to forgive you!  He LOVES us with a LOVE that is greater than we can imagine.  He sent his only son, JESUS to die for our sins!

I LOVE being a christian.........the world has nothing I want.......I only want Jesus!

Have a wonderful week and many Blessings~~~~from one sweetie to another~~~Roxie

    Roxie, I have already asked our Lord for healing for your mother, comfort for the family of the 15 month old that has gone to Heaven and healing for your friend's heart. I do believe, without a doubt, that Jesus does heal and if it is His will, it will be done.
    My mother was hospitalized with abdominal problems too, several years back..perhaps the same as your mom. It is hard to see them in that position. It turned out well but was touch and go for a bit and surgery was not needed. I have prayed and will continue that the same will be for your sweet mother.

    Will you please keep us updated as you are able.

    Much love and big hugs to you, my dear friend. xxoo

    Roxie,
    I will say a prayer for each of the three and a prayer for you. You know with strength and faith all good outcomes are possible. May all three of these families dealing with hardship and pain come through this with strength and the love and prayers of others to help them. May they come to know better days ahead.

    I certainly will keep all three in my prayers. This is incredibly difficult, having three such horrible tragedies strike at one time. Please try to stay strong and know that the power of prayer is out here. I, of course, have never met you, but I see your love of Christ in your blog and even in the sweet comments that you are kind enough to leave.
    Much love and prayers coming your way!

    Oh Roxie! Your needs for prayer are so heartfelt and necessary. You know that you will be in my prayers. God is the healer, and we have to leave it up to him, but he listens to his children.
    I was also so inspired by your faith, and the little photos you attached to you post. Just beautiful. I know that God will honor that faith.
    Keep us up to date, will you?

    Could you also say a prayer for me for a recurring health issue I've been having? Thank you so much. I'm so glad to see you are a woman of faith.

    Love,

    I've been 'blog hopping' and just found your blog! So many hurting people! I can't imagine losing a little child. We can't always understand why these things happen. God's Grace is sufficient and He is never-failing. I will say a prayer for these request.
