Sharing the Load
Posted: June 27th, 2008
As early as the beginning of the month of June my health was in jeapordy but, I did not realize it. Then, on June 10th my mother-in-law was taken to hospital where she still is today, in ICU. She is on the mend s l o w l y. That week was busy as family traveled in from all over Canada fearing the worst. Patrick is one of 8 siblings, between them all there are over 30 grown children most of whom have families of their own. As a result of a combination of these things I fell very ill shortly thereafter but am recuperating slowly.
I was back at church this past Sunday when I was reminded by a good friend that I need to be better at asking for prayers. She asked me if I believed in the power of prayer. Well, what a question – of course I do…I had been asking prayers for my mother-in-law almost obsessively since she was admitted. “So”, my friend said, “what about you”???
And, so, I am asking. Please pray for my health and the health of my mother-in-law Liz and the acceptance of all that God has planned and all that is to come.
God has really blessed our store ministry with generous staff and volunteers. Thanks especially to Janice and Debbie, I could not have gotten through the last few weeks without you.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I praise you for your goodness and for your answers to prayers. I thank you for good people in this world, like Peggy and Patrick, and their service to you and your people. Lord, you have heard how Peggy has prayed for her health issues and also that of her M-in-L Liz. Lord, please encourage them both with your hand of healing and an increased awareness of your presence during this stressful time. I pray that the following verses will become especially meaningful for them at this time: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thess 5:16-18 I pray these things in the Holy name of Jesus, amen.
