    My Dad - A Request

    My dad is very ill. He is in the ICU with blood clots in both lungs. He is in a very small town hospital and we basically won't know anything until Monday, which by the way is very frustrating. Because of the blood thinners he has many areas of bruising and he looks just pitiful in that hospital bed. He has some other medical issues that I can't discuss at this point because all family members aren't aware of them.

    For those who followed the summer's trials and tribulations of my relationship with my parents - I'm so glad I patched things up (as best I could).

    When you pray please send one up for him. Thanks.

    You and your family will be in my prayers and thoughts. I don't know you, but do know the struggle and sadness that can come from illness in the family. Hang in there, I hope brighter days are ahead.

    Belinda, I know prayer does work and will certainly remember your Dad in mine. May you find comfort in the Lord's protection.

    Belinda, sorry to hear of your Dad's illness. Prayers sent for you and your family.
    I was sad because I had no shoes,
    Then I saw a man who had no feet

    Belinda, my prayers offered also. Glad you were spurred on to work on the relationship last summer. Sometimes we just never know why His voice inside us tells us we need to do these things....Jim.

    Can do. Best thoughts and prayers for positive outcome.
