Sundays Prayer Requests.....
I had mentioned in one of Jan's posts that it would be nice to have a post for everyone to list their prayer request. That way everyone could click on it and see them all at once and take a second to pray for those in need at that monent. She liked the idea ok and ask who might want to do it. Since it was my suggestion I thought I would go for it. There may be days I can't get it posted, so PLEASE, if you get on and it's not posted feel free to start the post.......Thanks.....Tammy H.
If you would I would like you to pray for my sister, her daughter and her 2 grand children. In a few weeks they will be making a move to N.Carolina from Missouri. It's going to be a really long trip with two little ones. Ages 2 yrs and 2mo. Please pray they make it safely. My sister and I are very very close and this is breaking my heart. I know she will still be my sister no matter how far apart we are. But we do so much together and share so much that it's just not going to be the same. And she's going to be so dang close to the ocean. I will be terrified when hurricane season hits!!!! I know she is big enough and old enough to take care of herself but she is my baby sister, so as the oldest it is just a habbit of looking out for her and worrying about her.
Also her son that will turn 18 this week, and he doesn't want to go with them. He will be staying behind and living in her home here. He is not quite as mature as he could be for 18 and I worry about him and some of the choices he makes at times. So please pray for him as well.....Pray he matures and uses his head to make good choices for himself................Thanks again..............Tammy H.
Just wanted to share this with you. Something to think about.
Quilt of Holes
As I faced my Maker at the last judgment, I
knelt before the Lord
along with all the other souls.
Before each of us laid our lives like the squares of a quilt in manypiles;
an angel sat before each of us sewing our quilt squares
together into a tapestry that is our life.
But as my angel took each piece of cloth off the pile, I noticed how
ragged and empty each of my squares was. They were filled with giant
holes. Each square was labeled with a part of my life that had been
difficult, the challenges and temptations I was faced with in every
day life. I saw hardships that I endured, which were the largest
holes of all.
I glanced around me. Nobody else had such squares. Other than a tiny
hole here and there, the other tapestries were filled with rich color and
the bright hues of worldly fortune. I gazed upon my own life and
was disheartened.
My angel was sewing the ragged pieces of cloth together, threadbare and
empty, like binding air.
Finally the time came when each life was to be displayed,
held up to the light, the scrutiny of truth. The others rose;
each in turn,holding up their tapestries. So filled their lives had been.
My angel looked upon me, and nodded for me to rise.
My gaze dropped to the ground in shame. I hadn't had all the
earthly fortunes. I had love in my life, and laughter. But there had
also been trials of illness, and wealth, and false accusations that took
from me my world, as I knew it. I had to start over many times. I
often struggled with the temptation to quit, only to somehow muster the
strength to pick up and begin again. I spent many nights on my knees in
prayer, asking for help and guidance in my life. I had often been held up
to ridicule, which I endured painfully, each time offering it up to the Father
in hopes that I would not melt within my skin beneath the judgmental gaze
of those who unfairly judged me.
And now, I had to face the truth. My life was what it
was, and I had to accept it for what it was.
I rose and slowly lifted the combined squares of my life to the light.
An awe-filled gasp filled the air. I gazed around at the others who stared
at me with wide eyes.
Then, I looked upon the tapestry before me. Light flooded the many
holes,creating an image, the face of Christ. Then our Lord stood
before me, with warmth and love in His eyes.
He said, "Every time you gave over your life to Me, it became My life,
My hardships, and My struggles.
Each point of light in your life is when you stepped aside and let Me
shine through, until there was more of Me than there was of you."
May all our quilts be threadbare and worn, allowing Christ to shine through!
Please share this with someone you love, care about or even someone who
needs Jesus in their heart. They may scoff, but at least the seed has been
planted, and God will do the rest. May God bless you today and Forever!
When there is nothing left but God that is when you find out that God is
all you need.
Take 60 seconds and give this a shot! All you do is simply say
thefollowing small prayer for the person who sent you this.
Father, God bless all my friends in whatever it is that you know
they may need this day! And may their life be full of your peace,
prosperity and power as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with
you. Amen.
Send this on to five other people, within hours you caused a multitude of people
to pray for other people. Then sit back and watch the power of God work in
your life.
Please continue to pray for Sugar. She is still in a lot of pain and ask that we pray for her. I think she is having buyers remorse this morning. And a little scared that she isnt able to drink much. I told her it was normal but she need to have prayers anyway to ease her mind . Also pray for my niece who just had the baby yesterday that she will be a good mother she has made a lot of bad choices in her life to this point and just hope that this will turn her life around in a good way.

Please keep my husband in your prayers. The doctor has put him on insulin because the 3 different medicine {pills} he was taking was not contolling his sugar. The insulin is a new one called Lantus. He started it Thursday and his sugar tests have been running around 280 to 300. They said it might take a few days to get in his system and he would have a some screwy blood sugar results.
Also remember me for my fibromyalgia and arthritus, I've been in a lotta pain lately. And also my back with the DDD, I'm still going to physical therapy but the relief from the traction and stem unit is short lived.
Thank you, and I will be praying for each of you.
