I Come to the Garden...

It has been very quiet on here...hope that means you are all out enjoying summer gardens. 

Chabba...how did your brother's scans work out? Been praying.

Just wanted to share this picture with you all....

Thanks 3jays and Meece.  Just heard from SIL, now he is suffering from a recurrence of Shingles!  Not what he needs to deal with just now.

Chabba so sorry your brother, you, and your family have to go through this! My prayers are with you all! Joni glad the service for your mom was beautiful! I'm so sorry you are feeling sick. Glad you pushed for the antibiotics. Grief or severe stress can lower your immune system so you may have picked something up. I will continue to lift you up in prayer. (((((((Chabba))))))) ((((((((Joni)))))))

Joni - I have been neglectful in not sending sooner my heartfelt prayers for you and your family.  So sorry you are under the weather. 

Chabba - Prayers for your brother. 

And (((((HUGS))))) to both of you.

Still praying, chabba, for God's continued presence and peace at this very difficult time.

I had a PET scan yesterday and today was notified that the thyroid area and lymph nodes lit up like a Christmas tree. More testing ahead, but trusting that God is already taking care of all the details. I at least have a new oncologist who is willing to listen to his patients. Prayers would be most appreciated. I go back to the oncologist on Thursday for the next steps in the plan. 

Thank you both.  I'll be praying for you too Laural.  I think my sub-consious is setting off an alarm every ten min today to signal prayer time.

Oh dear, so much grief!! I apologize for being absent when so many needed prayer. Joni, I already PM'd you asking about your Mom, but can tell from this page that she passed. The last I read was a glorious elephant ride, so I'm sure she had great memories to think of as she was 'waiting'.

Chabba, your dear brother is in my prayers, please let us know how he is doing.

Meece, any woman that doesn't want to see her boyfriend behind closed doors with his mother will always be a problem. Is she the first love since Okinawa? He is still young, she should not be pressuring him like that. Oh dear.

Forgive me my dear sisters for my absence, I am ashamed that I have deserted you but see that the circle of love and prayers continued as strongly as ever.

Hugs and love to all.

FYI-back to my post about sore throat & them saying it was from post-nasal drip from crying.  No-it was a different grade of strep than what the instant test can detect, but since I'd insisted on antibiotics, I was ahead of the game!  Throat is much better.

To all my garden girls-thank you so much for your prayers.  I could use a couple arrow prayers to heaven for peace when you happen to think of me, but I relinquish my need for continual prayer-for now anyway.  Lets get Chabba's brother's situation forefront & follow that with the needs of Meece & kcl's kids, as well as ALL our kids.

Lord, I come to you right now, asking your love & protection for G.  Cover him with your grace & peace as he battles his illnesses.  Let Chabba know you are a very present help in her time of need.  We know that you are the Father of all, and we have children of yours who need you right now for a variety of reasons: relationship puzzles, jobs, schooling, health, and most certainly to know you are their Father-I lift the kids to you now. As I review this page, I remember Laural, who writes such beautiful verses, needs your care today, Lord.  Be with her tomorrow when she returns to the doctor.  If healing is your Will, I ask that be done.  Thank you for being with us in our times of sorrow & pain.  Help us to always remember to give thanks when the times are happy & fruitful.  You are my King, and I give you Praise.  Amen.      

Amen

PET scan shows need for thyroid ultrasound but otherwise no cancer spread detected...God is good. Thanks for your prayers.
