Wishes for Slonedeb

Dear Kentucky Lady;

Please imagine that all your family, both real and cyber, are gathered around your bed. One may be reading your favorite poem, another may be rubbing your legs, another may be holding your hand, another putting cool cloths on your forehead. Someone may be baking a lemon chess pie in the kitchen while your DH brings in ripe tomatoes from your garden. Some of us are in the front room looking at pictures of you when you were a little girl; others of us are sweeping off the porch and thinking about churning up some ice cream from the last of the peaches.

When you are ready to rest a bit, we will all join hands and say a prayer:

Loving Father, hear our cries for relief, as well as the relief of those we love, from agony, burdens, and suffering. By the power of the Holy Spirit, answer in amazing and miraculous ways, so that we may not only be relieved, but in such a way that you may be glorified. In the wonderful Name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Heavenly Father

I come to you right now and ask you to give our sister some relief from the pain. If it is not your will to completely heal her at this time,please make the pain tolerable.

you have been such a brave soul in the face of this disease -- that's what we will always hold on to

 I am sending up this prayer in your name, Princess Deb. 

Dear Father,

I have been battling a fearful disease for so long. I am afraid. I am lonely. Questions seem to crowd my mind: Will I be cured? How long will I live? How will my family handle this? I ask with all my heart that I be healed. But, if my healing is not in Your great plan, I trust You to be with me through it all. I trust You to give me peace, to let me live with hope, to relieve any pain, and to let me know Your presence. I trust You to bring my loved ones close to me during this illness, that we might support each other, and that Your great hands might support us all. I pray that from now on, whether sick or well, I will live each day as if it were eternal, and trust my eternity to You.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

slonedeb, I strapped on my walking shoes and put on my pink hat with the single word: CURE embroidered on the front and I walked and prayed for you (and all others here) as I went up and down these massive hills around our place.

I'm quite sure the angels heard me directly, as I was breathing so hard (laughing at myself, but true.) I walked for you and all of our other sisters who are unable to get out and walk.

sending you sweet greetings for today -- it's overcast here right now & we need the rain.

hugs and a nice hot cup of your favorite tea...........

courage and strength sister, courage and strength

Oh, tender...... I knew you'd have info for slonedeb. You're brilliant and such a marvel in your abilibty to share the science with the hope.

Slonedeb, hearing what Tender knows, I'm so very encouraged to think that you may have this treatment -- it positively sounds promising, doesn't it? You have been such a trooper to undergo all of this medical maze -- in their efforts to learn about what does indeed help. I praise you for your willingness to allow them to learn. What a gift you give to the whole generation of women who will follow us. Be strong.

Now I'm going to cut myself a piece of Pansy's sweet potato pie and top off my plate with the fresh blueberries that I picked for you. They'll look pretty sitting on the plate together.

If you are able, drop us a line. We're all here thinking of you!

Pansy, let's just go ahead with the pestering...... the squeekie wheel get the grease!

Slonedeb, continue on with your reaching for wholeness. My very best to your dear husband who has seen you thru. He gains a special place in heaven for his support. What a blessing.

Deb, Your entries sound a bit more hopeful. Glad that this treatment seems optimistic. You're continually in my thoughts and prayers. Have a blessed weekend.
