You are welcome, thought it was a good way of expressing my feelings to all that I am praying for and there are many that needs the prayers. we can say I pray for you all day long, and before the long it seems as if the words are just words, again just wanted another way of expressing myself.

Carol & Ladyinmaille, it's good to hear that things are looking up for Carol's brother and Ladyinmaille's DD...

My brothers girlfriend is trying to arrange some help with his hospital bills since he doesn't have any insurance. I told them about this little know law called the Hilton - Burt Act, that requires all hospitals to write off an certain amount of patient bills each year. The stipulation is you have to talk to the billing department before you leave the hospital. It depends on where the hospital is in their fiscal year as to how much they can take off, if the hospital has reached it's limit then your out of luck. So hoefully they'll be able to take a lot off his bill, because it's probably going to be at least $50,000 for all of it.

We just learned last night that one of our friends has lost his job, and his last day is rapidly approaching. They have one dd in college, and a ds in high school. Last year the mom lost her job, and was hospitalized shortly thereafter with chest pains and high blood pressure. I know they would certainly appreciate your prayers as they sort out the next steps that need to be taken.

Thanks in advance, and Blessings to everyone

I will say a prayer for Val and her family and for Debbie's friends family.

I will continue to keep Carol's brother and Barbszy's friend in my prayers, too.

I'll keep Val and her family and Debbie's family in my prayers.

My brother is doing really well. My dh stopped in to see him on his trip home, and he's up and around. His chest is a little sore, but he's happy to be alive.

Keeping Val & family in prayer. It has been a long, tough illness.

Thank you for the prayers for my family friend. He is still hospitalized and trying to get stronger. Then he will get a second opinion. His doctor doesn't give him a very good prognosis right now. He has a good attitude though.

Carol, I'm glad your brother is recuperating well.

Giving praises for the report we got from my hubby yesterday with his eyes. he could read one line better than last week. and last week was one line better than when he went in. this was shocking news for the dr. Now we are just praying that the new drug will not destroy the other drug and he will continue to see like he is.

Due to my hubby health problems we were in debt big time and was consider about some financial situation and GOD deliver us a angel that gave us some money to help us out of the bind we were in. still in debt but the money went to pay some bills we were behind on and very concerned about.

whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. James 1:2-3

Lifting everyone up that needs prayers.

ASK and it will be given (Matthew 7:7-8)
