Prayer request.

Hey yall I have a prayer request. Some of yall know my wife(be that good or bad)Kris. Her father has been very ill after having 2 strokes a couple years back. Confined to a wheelchair, everything. He has been in the hospital for about 3 weeks now again. Anyways, she got the call this afternoon that he is very poor again. Her mom told her that he had asked for her to come to Texas. And she also told her that it had better be in a hurry. The doctors told Brigette(mother in law) to "prepare herself", and asked what funeral home would be used. It just doesn't sound too good. I would like to ask those that will to remember Kris and her family in your prayers. That they be strong in this extreme time, and that they know that God knows what is best for all involved.

Thanks gang, MUCH appreciated for sure.

 

Dave,

Our prayers are with you and your family.

 

:Smarty: We are there too for you guys............

 

my prayers are on the way. GOD IS GREAT,GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!

 

Dave You know where I live if you need any help let me know. Donna and I will pray for ya'll

 

Boy, Kris has not been having a good string of luck here, has she? Please let her know that we're sending her prayers and thoughts in her time of need.

And you take care of yourself and those boys! Stay strong for her.

An update for yall,

This morning Kris lost her father. She is taking this very hard as she was on her way to be with him, and missed seeing him before he passed by 5 lousy minutes. As she and her brother where on their way in, they were met with the news of his passing.

Everything is just going wrong for her and I am neart' sick to my stomach about it. Her grandmother passed recently as most of yall know. She had to spend a lot of time in Texas helping run the family and take care of her dad. Not including flying to Germany. And now this. I hope and pray this is the end of hard times for her for awhile. I will gladly take her next "issue" just to give her a break. I know in my heart the good Lord has a plan for us all. And I will not change that belief for anything. But boy, sometimes..............the enemy just pushes and pushes.

I would like to Thank all of you, for Kris(and myself) for thinking of her. I will be flying out day after tommorrow for Texas, for a few hours. Then returning to take care of the homefront while mom gets settled in a whole new life.

Thanks again,

ps- Shari, you hit the nail on the head there. Just not a good time to be buying lotto tix. Thnx

 

We will continue to pray for peace and strength for your family

 

We echo what Jim said, and I hope you have a safe trip to be with Kris in her time of need.

You all also have my best wishes for a quiet and uneventful rest of the year. I was glad to see '04 end, because of various losses and Loyd's health problems (that now seem under control knock wood) I hope Kris gets a nice long breather, and you too.

Take care.

Shari

Some good news and of course some more bad.............First the good.

Kris is doing better I think. And her mom is doing good too. The transition, while not an easy one of course, is moving along well enough. Losing the most inportant person in your life is the tougest step we can take I would think. And after alot of years together it has to be just plain hard. On another note, and this is a secret so NOONE tell my boys, Oma(mother in law) will be coming here to Ks. to stay and visit us for a week or so. Before I left Tx. she had made the comment several times that "she would be able to come visit now". Didn't know it would be this soon but we will work on it. We are excited to have her in our home, and I know the brat pack will be overjoyed to see their Oma.

Also, the bad. The hits just keep on a coming. I got told this morning by my mom that my Aunt had passed away last night. Actually she was my great Aunt, but she was very close to me personally. After my Grandma(her sister) passed away when I was young, Aunt Melva kinda took her place in my life. She had no idea how much she meant to me, and I didn't get back to her in time to tell her. ALOT of my religous thinking and ideas came from her, simply by watching her in her faith. No wavering, no lack of trust, no doubt what so ever. Just her endless belief that our God would be there for her in her time of need. And I know in my heart that he was. For some reason I have not had a good cry for her yet. I know I will and that it could help in my grieving, but I haven't. I honestly think its because I know shes ok now. And I think in some ways I am calmed in knowing that she has got to meet Jesus, and she is safe now in his arms.

In my previous post I said that I would take the next "issue to give Kris a break". Sometimes makes you think.............be careful what you ask for. None the less life will move on, My Aunt and Kris' dad are both resting comfortably now, and feeling no more pain from their seperate conditions. They suffer no more.

Thanks to all of you that have posted for your prayers and thoughts in this trying time for us. It is very soothing to know that we have true friends here. Even though some of us have never, and may never, meet. I cannot express my thanks enough........

 

Very sorry to hear of all this.
You and yours are in our thoughts.

Rick and Mel

 

That is kind of scary, Dave - about your aunt, I mean. I had a great aunt on my dad's side that I was close to as a child. I had never had the chance to meet either of those grandparents, so she was as close as it got.

I'll pray that this is it, no more for 2005 for you guys!

And if you're going to BG, I'm sure you'll meet Loyd and I.

ShariB

 

Looking forward to it Shari. BG is still on the books for me as of now, but the year has started off in an interesting gear. Everything is open to change. SURE hope May isn't in the line of fire though. I am really looking forward to it.

Thank you VERY MUCH again from myself, and speaking for Kris. It does matter alot to us.

 

Many Prayers

Dave,

Just now reading this post. My deepest sympathy to you and Kris. Just know that I've said a couple of prayers to the Man Upstairs for you two.

I can relate with your sadness. I'm still trying to get used to not seeing my Grandpa around. He passed away while I was at Kearney last year. I felt even worse for my Dad, however, because he was also at Kearney when I told him he should have been with Grandpa.

Again, my sympathy and prayers to you both. Tell Kris Hi.

P.D.

 

Well after what seems like and eternity(sp) Kris is almost home again. I just wanted to drop in one more time and thank you all for you prayers and well wishes. It has meant alot to her believe me. She sat and read this thread in Tx. while I was there and it really meant alot to her. Once again.....THANKS gang. Yall are the best in the world.


ps- We have Kkris' mom coming for a stay with us. Thank you God that she doesn't fit the "mold" for mil's. She is just great. But none the less, gotta do my job........... You married folk know what I mean :laugh: :laugh:

 

prayers from abilene are on the way!!
