How can I pray for you?

I have several requests to share this week. If you have anything you'd like me to pray about with you, please let me know.

~Baby Cade. I know his family is anxious to bring home their sweet boy.

~military spouses and families. Saturday we sat down to eat our lunch. I heard the lady behind me in the next booth talking to her two young girls "looking for the positives about Daddy being in Afghanistan." My heart hurt for her as I thought of myself enjoying a Saturday with my son and husband. One of those positives was the pictures they received of the Afghan children. She was talking to her girls about sending items to Daddy to give to the children. She went on to say how Daddy has already been gone 3 months and would be gone for only 9 more months. As she was clearing her table I got up for a refill. I told her I was sorry but I couldn't help but hear her mention Afghanistan and thanked for her for sacrifice. She thanked me and said they were glad for him to go and were just doing their part. Hearing this conversation made it so real to me what the families at home are going through on a daily basis with their loved ones serving our country.

~Wesley. I believe I've mentioned this young man here previously. He has had numerous brain surgeries this year. The last one was to put in a shunt. At the end of last week he started running a fever so he was taken back to Cook's and last I heard an MRI was scheduled.

~Heather

~Gavin's Mom. I've mentioned her also. She was supposed to have surgery Friday as well.

~Emily. Marsha made me aware of this girl who was run over by a car. This is her blog if you'd like to read her story. http://prayingforemily.blogspot.com/


~Brad. This is the husband of one of my friends. He is having health problems.

~Jennifer

My mind is so? well just so!! It seems like I can't remember much of anything. I appreciate your memory verse of the week. I think that I may try it this week.
Thank-you for sharing this on Spiritual Sunday,
