Week of 10/25/10

Well, I hope everyone is having a good October, it's almost gone again!

Here are the requests I have collected!Have a safe and fun Halloween weekend! We are taking the kids Trick-or-Treating for the first time! By the way, whenever I edit these posts after submitting them, the spacing goes haywire!!!

I'm going to start with a prayer, and I'm leaving the rest up to you!

Dear Father in Heaven, We pray that Your will would be done. Help us to spend our time, money, and energy on things You want us to. We pray that Your hand would be on all these requests. Protect us this week, and help us to be frequently reminded of these people who have asked for our help. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Request #1: Linda- Please remember a friend of mine whose mother just had a stroke and will no longer be able to be independent.  She lives a good distance from her daughter.  Many adjustments will need to be made.  My own mom continues to suffer slow losses due to her dementia.  It is so painful to talk with her and be constantly aware of these losses.  Thanks for your prayers. 

Request #2: Liz Curtis Higgs Off to Scotland, offline for a week! If you would kindly pray for safe travel and solid writing time, that would be a huge blessing. Hugs, dear FB friends, and see you in November!

Request #3: Margaret - My brother John passed away Monday morning Oct 18th.  He had been in the hospital for some time and then in a nursing home. My Mother had been in the hospital from the 12th to the 18th. Ed told her before he took her home on Monday afternoon. Our greatest concern is for her.  She is very weak. Please pray for her.

Request #4: Bridget- Their home burned down on Sunday morning at about 12:30am. Looks like someone threw a lit cigarette in their backyard. She woke up when she saw the flickering lights outside her window. They got out of the house before the smoke alarms went off. The car was ruined as well. They have 2 little girls ages 2 and 5. He is a dentist, and she is a dental hygienist. They are currently staying in a bed and breakfast, but need our prayers and support. They are not members at a local church currently, although the older daughter is in Kindergarten at a Catholic school (very close to the hotel luckily.) 

Praises: 1) EVERYONE got out quickly and NO ONE was hurt! 2) 

A neighbor gave them a double stroller to push the girls in. 3) They had insurance, but anyone who has been through a fire knows, it takes a long time to get that money. 4) Insurance did pay a restoration company to come in and get to work. 5) The school is being flooded with phone calls of people trying to help!!! 6) The restoration people are telling them that some items that were in the fire will be salvageable.

Request #5: Stacey- Her son Drew has pneumonia and strep throat. 

Request #6: Jessica- had a peanut scare already today. Epipen and Benadryl done. And, looks like I will make it another day!

Request #7: Marcia - She was suddenly let go at work. :-( Let's pray that God would open a door where one has been closed. 

Request #8: Derema- One of our iPrayer ladies and her family are on a road trip this week to South Carolina! They have their 1 1/2 year old with them. Yesterday was quite an interesting trip with the storms! Let's pray that even though she has to attend a work training while she's there, that they would get some serious fun and family time, and for travelling mercies!

Request #9:  Shannon- Chris and I are friends with the Stone family who were planning on bringing home their adopted daughter from the hospital yesterday (she was born Friday).  However, the birth mother kept the baby for the weekend, and decided on keeping her.  The baby and birthmother are both healthy, so there is no cause for concern there.  However, the Stone family has an incredibly intelligent 4 year old son, Benjamin, who was eagerly awaiting his new baby sister.  He has been asking the simple question "Why?" right now, but they foresee many more questions coming in the future.  They are hoping that he processes this in as healthy a way as possible. Could you please lift up the Stone family during this emotional time for them?  They are going through the process of grieving, while at the same time, hoping for a miracle that the birthmother will remember all the reasons she made an adoption plan in the first place and perhaps change her mind.
