Hello to anyone who is actually reading my blog!  I just wanted to let you know (particularly the Blogger Friend School ladies) why I am not keeping up with the assignments.  My husband has graciously sent me down to visit my grandparents in Utah.  My grandpa was just diagnosed with congestive heart failure, and my grandma has Alzheimers.  They are in their late 80's, and I hadn't seen them in 3.5 years, so it was time for me to go.  Our whole family will be coming down in January for my brother's wedding, but we just aren't sure Grandpa will make it that long.

I would like to ask for prayer for them.  My grandpa is very fragile, and it is hard to see him like this.  He is probably 5'10", but is only 104lbs, and that is up from a couple of weeks ago.  Please pray that he gains strength, and that if it is God's will, that he will be able to see all of his great-grandkids once more. 

Also, if you have time, would you pray for my family that is back in Alaska without me.  My husband is home with the two oldest boys, the three youngest are with friends, and my third child is with his grandmother.  They seem to be doing really well, but more prayer can't hurt!  Also, I will be driving and flying home on Friday and Saturday.  I could use prayers as I will be alone the whole time.  I had a really great drive over though!  God really ministered to my heart!!!  Amazing how much you hear when you are alone!

Anyway, that is what is on my heart right now.

I was keeping up with the assignments so well too!  I ALMOST made perfect attendance!!  Bummer!

I'll be praying for you and your family, including your kids. I pray that God is with you comforting you and granting you joy at the this time. I pray that your children are safe and secure in His hands as you are away.

I will be praying for your grandparents and for you and family as well. I am glad that you posted the comment on the BFS site, I don't always get to everyone's blog often and I would have missed the opportunity to pray.

May God strengthen your Grandfather, give you safety in travel and place a hedge of protection around your husband and children in your absence.

Blessings,
Margie

Oct. 9, 2008 - Praying for you!

Posted by RebeccaC

I'll be praying for you as you travel and also for your family. It's so hard to see our parents and grandparents grow old! I will pray that God's will be done in your grandpa's land grandma's lives.

Don't worry about the perfect attendance thing -- there's plenty of time for that later. We're just "virtual" friends, and (although we do exist!!!) we're not as "real" as your family. They are more important!!!
