God has so blessed me with a wonderful husband, 5 sons who are truly are gifts from God, my mom, a single mom who worked so hard for my brother and I to raise us up ethic rich, family tradition rich, and value rich – and all on minimum wage.
God gave me an extra special surprise – a father-in-law who has been like the father I never had and a mother in law who loves unconditionally. I’m ususally hesitaant about posting current pictures of my boys, but today it is worth it. The picture to the left is at last years Veteran’s Day celebration. All the boys showed up at the little guys’ school for a ceremony that honored so many of our veterans. Nanny and Papaw drove 3 hours to attend. Since then, we moved to their hometown (where they didn’t have a Veteran’s Day Ceremony due to the ramped-up-scare-’em-to-death Swine Flu, but that’s another post).
Today’s post is a prayer request for my mom and my father in law – the world’s best Papaw. My FIL was diagnosed with cancer before Christmas and is going for his 3rd Chemo treatment tomorrow. 1/21/2010 – no more Chemo. They admitted him to the hospital. Please pray for healing and strength.
***Prayer Results 1/20/2010 – thanks for the prayers. When they went in there was no blockage. She said to say thank you because it was all those prayers that made the difference! I thank you from the bottom of my heart
And Please pray for my Mom. She went into the hospital last night with chest pains and heart “activity.” She’s a spunky fighter! She’s overcome a brain tumor, cancer, and raising me and my brother – I think she can overcome anything. But it’s a sure bet when God’s behind you.
I will certainly pray for both of them.
Standing in agreement with you. May the Lord’s healing, strength, protection and comfort cover your mom and your “dad and mom-in-law”…God bless.
I will be praying I have a similar situation with my in-laws.
I will say a prayer for them. I hope that they both get good news very soon.

Oh, we’ll be praying for both of them. So hard to deal with all that at once! Better days ahead, I’m sure!

I am so sorry that I didn’t see your post before now! I didn’t get to pray for your mother but praise God… sounds like she is okay!
I will be praying for your FIL!! and for you! 🙂
What a lovely picture of your boys and your in-laws. I love mine like my own family too. In some ways closer to them because we share the love of Christ, unlike with my family.
I will pray for your family.
I pray that all goes well with your father in law and am happy to hear that your mother is doing well. I will definitely say a prayer for your family. ((HUGS))
