My mom is not able to get out of bed now, and we are sensing that her time is near. The last two nights I have hugged her and gone to bed not knowing if I would see her again. As she continues to have pain and nausea, she told me today that she is so ready to go home. It is hard to say that this is our prayer request, but we know that God is in complete control and that has a plan to use my mom's death in the same way that he has used her life to glorify Him.
We have received many encouraging emails and notes, and I have been printing them and reading them to Mom. She has been a wonderful witness and a discipler of many, and that brings my heart great comfort during this time.
We ask for your continued prayers in these remaining days.
Cyndi & Kelly and Family...

ReplyDeletePsalm 23
ReplyDelete"The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever."
Breathing prayers for you all day and night, especially your sweet mom. May she see His face soon...
I pray for our Cindy....I cry with you too.

I wanted to share one of my favorite prayers:
ReplyDeletePrayer in Time of Trouble
God of Peace,
God of all Tranquility.
Be for us Light
in all our darknesses.
Be for us Calm
in every storm.
Be for us Stillness
in our turmoil.
Let us rest in You,
as a child in
a mother's arms;
a nested bird.
And let Your Grace
now rest upon us,
as moonlight rests
upon the water;
as soft rain
falls to rest
on thristy ground.
Let your Grace
now rest
like gentle rain
upon us.
Deborah Gordon Cooper
Praying for you all. Love, Jeanie (Jon's Aunt)
