Daily Prayers & Thankful For's 11th January 2008

Good am all, Prayers asked for myself with various struggles. Its become frustrating anymore as it seems my focuses are on the things I cannot control so I hope to find the strength & courage to leave them be. Prayers asked for me to make the right decision about some plans this weekend. Prayers for my mom to get the job she REALLY wants instead of the ones in between that she is overqualified for. Prayers for the friends I reached out to last pm as they are so wonderful & give unconditionally their love & such. What are YOU thankful for today? I am thankful for the my meds working their magic last pm. I am thankful I slept for more than 2 hours. I am thankful for sleeping a little later this am. I am thankful for my buggas who love me and I them. I am thankful for the coffee I am sipping on. I am thankful for the walking I've gotten in this week (almost 15 miles). I am thankful for payday coming up so that we can pay bills, plan my oldest daughter's birthday & do a few other things. I am thankful for the chance everyday to "get it right." Enjoy your Friday & weekend! Kat

Good Morning Kat, I love your avatar. You look too young to have "buggas". I am asking for prayers for my brother, Jack. He fell down some steps and injured both of his knees. They are not broken, but they cannot tell if there is any tissue damage till the swelling goes down. I am also asking for prayer that I get my food back under control, as it has been slopping this week. I also have some personal struggles I need prayer for. I am thankful for God's love, grace and POWER. I keep trying to do things in my own strength, and forget that I have the Holy Spirit in me to do things I am incapable of doing. I am thankful for my meds that are helping me sleep as well. I am thankful for my kids, and my beautiful granddaughter. Have a blessed day. Huggles, Trish

I am asking for prayers for my friend, Brenda. Over Christmas she found out she had thyroid cancer and had to have her thyroid removed but it had spread. I talked to her yesterday and she is really upset. The kids are back in school and her dh is back to work and she has had time to really think about everything and is scared. Also, please keep Paul in your prayers. He has this lump under his arm and he went to a pcp yesterday but he just gave him Naprosyn and told him to come back in two weeks. Paul said it feels like something is stabbing him in the ribs. He is worried. Please keep these him and Brenda in your prayers. It has been a bad morning around here and right now I'm having a hard time being thankful. I'm sorry. I know we have plenty to be thankful for, family, friends, home, schools, freedoms, etc., but just am feeling sad this morning and a little worried. Love, Shel
