As any of you have time and inclination, could you please pray for the son of a friend of mine?

He's a teenager who works with a tree-trimming company for the summer. Yesterday he fell, broke his back and several bones in his face. As of last night, he couldn't feel anything below his waist, though the bones have been reset.

Please also pray for the family. Their insurance comes from the mother (my friend). She, like me, is likely to lose her job at the end of June so there is added stress.

Thanks to this extended family!

Terry,

I have a teenager and can only imagine how the mom must feel. I'll be praying too.

Bless you for asking on their behalf,

Marsha (my friend) and her son Brandon are still hanging in there. Brandon is, as of today, still paralyzed from the waist down.

She did not lose her job --as I did

-- although most people agree the company will lay her off as soon as they can do it without appearing heartless.

Please continue to pray for Brandon, and if you feel inclined, for me to find a job so we can afford our new house and new baby (due in 2 weeks).

Thanks, all.

Terry

Dear Terry,

You, your family, and your friends are in our prayers. It is strange how so often many things go wrong at the same time. But our Lord DOES hear all prayer, and carries us through trying times.

Although it is always hard to see it in the midst of dark times, I am a firm believer in the truth in Paul's words:

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose." Rom 8:28

So often when we look back on events that seemed so bleak at the time, we can find something of true value that shines through those mists of mystery.

I truly hope through prayer that your lives can turn for the better, that your sufferings and anxieties may be relieved, and that Brandon recovers fully.

Yours in Christ

Keith

Dear Terry:
I will be praying on your friends behalf for her and her son (It's so sad!) I will also be praying for you and your job situation.

Lord, please move and bless them all!!!!!!!!!

God bless you
