A CHRISTMAS PRAYERLoving Father, help us remember
the birth of Jesus, that we may
share in the song of the angels,
the gladness of the shepherds
and the wisdom of the wise men.
Close the door of hate and open
the door of love all over the world.
Let love and kindness come with every gift
and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing
which Christ brings, and teach us to
be merry with clean, love filled hearts.
May the Christmas morning
make us happy to be Thy children,
and the Christmas evening bring us
to our beds with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven,
for Jesus sake. And so that we
will spend eternity with YOU.
Amen.

THANKS BETTY JO AND TIMMY FOR COMING IN
TO SEE MOM.. SHE REALLY NEEDS, AND APPRECIATES
SEEING EACH OF HER CHILDREN, (ESPECIALLY NOW)
(we prayed for you all to have a safe, love filled journey back home)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PLEASE PRAY FOR BARBARA'S MOTHER AND BROTHER,
HER MOTHER IS HAVING EVEN MORE HEALTH ISSUES...
(THANKFULLY, SHE LIKE MOM SAYS SHE IS READY)
BUT FOR US, LETTING GO IS JUST WAY TO HARD
(right Barbara? , THEY ARE JUST SO PRECIOUS TO US)
AND HER BROTHER HAS HEALTH ISSUES ALSO
"WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOUR MOTHER AND
WHOLE FAMILY BARBARA, GOD BLESS AND COMFORT"
LOVE YOU BARBARA, MY SISTER IN CHRIST!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND PRAY FOR GARLAND, HE STILL HAS NO CHANGE..
I JUST CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT ALL HIS FAMILY IS
GOING THROUGH.. "GOD BLESS AND COMFORT"
AND PRAY FOR EVELYN, SHE TOO IS TERMINAL
AND FOR ALL THE OTHERS THAT ARE SICK, HURTING
DYING, AND GRIEVING.. "GOD BLESS AND COMFORT PLEASE,
GRANT INNER PEACE ALSO PLEASE AND DRAW EACH OF
THEM CLOSER TO YOU! THANK YOU IN JESUS NAME."

MOM STILL HAD ONE OF THOSE DAYS,
SHES OKAY, THEN CONFUSED, THEN YOU JUST AREN'T SURE
AT TIMES SHE SEEMS SO FAR AWAY, OTHER TIMES SHE'S SO SAD..
YOU JUST AREN'T SURE, SOMETIMES FROM ONE SENTENCE TO THE
NEXT... SOMETIMES ITS "IN HER EYES".. AND A LOT OF THE TIME
SHE IS "JUST ELSEWHERE"... AND A LOT OF TIMES, SHE IS JUST
OVERCOME WITH SADNESS... (just makes you feels so helpless, and
Lord knows we would love to do something to help).. And the pain,
you can just see it in her face, and that is most of the time.It would also
be GREAT if she would just take her pain meds regularly.. (perhaps she
would had it not been for some telling her that they are why she is
confused.. seems to us, that are around her, that she is even more
confused, let alone the pain she is in from not taking them) But you
just cannot force them on her! So, as always, "GOD BLESS AND
COMFORT PLEASE, GIVE HER INNER PEACE AND GRACE, AND
SOMEHOW HELP HER TO REALIZE THAT SHE NEEDS HER
PAIN MEDICINES TO HELP HER GET SOME RELIEF, ABOVE ALL
FATHER, WE KNOW AND REALIZE THAT WE ARE ALL FULLY IN
YOUR LOVING HANDS, AND UNDER YOUR CONTROL. THANK YOU
FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR HER, AND FOR GIVING HER TO US
AS OUR MOTHER, SHE IS PRECIOUS, AND WE LOVE HER"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THANKS TO EACH OF YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED
PRAYERS ON BEHALF OF ANYONE WE HAVE MENTIONED..
YOU (OUR FRIENDS, OLD AND NEW, AND FAMILY)
ARE ALSO IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS..
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS!
